We finished all 33.5 + 1-2 miles of the Milford Track. Wow!!!! We were blessed with rain the first two day which made for hundreds of spectacular waterfalls walking up the valley. The second day was perfectly clear when we crossed the saddle. It's said that only 10% of people actually experience the view we had from the summit. The last day was also perfect for us to finish our walk through the moss laden beech forest. Simply said we had another amazing trek. It was a little anticlimactic when we had to walk another 2 km to our motel...noone knew about the free shuttle. Ken, Sho and I spent the afternoon on a wonderful sound cruise while Crystal enjoyed a hot shower. The next day we drove down to Invercargil to say with Amy and Kimball for a day or so. So here we are and enjoy the photos!

Sunset at Oreti Beach, if you have seen the movie "The worlds fastest Indian" which I highly recommend, this is the beach Burt Monro raced on.

what beautiful scenery - NZ is a gorgeous country - so glad that you have been able to experience such beauty! Trip of a live time!
Glad you guys had good weather. I am jealous of the kea. We just saw them flying high in the trees in driving rain at Arthurs pass. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your pictures. Enjoy NZ!!!
