                                                  Early morning kayakers on Doubtful Sound.
Fiordland is a World Heritage site that is the home to the renowned Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. It is located in the south-western corner of the South Island. Bonny and I took our daughter Kirsten and Julian to visit Milford Sound last month. We flew there on a beautiful day with clear blue skies from Queenstown over snow filled glaciers to Milford Sound Airport.

                                       Flying past cruise ship on return flight to Queenstown.                                       What a wonderful day roundtrip flight over snow capped mountains and glaciers with a boat cruise down Milford Sound all in just over four hours. One of the highlights of our year in New Zealand!
     Kia Ora and on to Doubtful Sound our next adventure in the South Island of New Zealand.
