Day 8 (30 nov) - milford sound cruise day!

our cruise is at 9am, but we hv to reach there at 830.

Gan ma woke up at 630am panicking, thinking that it’s 730am already and seen her panicking I also jumped out of bed. lol. After checking my hp, just realised it’s only 630am and we all went “phew!”. lol.

The cruise ride was around 2 hours and includes breakfast. we seemed to enjoy the food more than the scenery haha!

our ship: lady of the sounds



Isn’t it awesome ? (: The water is not a lake but a fuod(dunno how to spell) which means lake surrounded by mountains that is connected to the sea.









I think this pic is the most awesome, can see ice mountain! >D





We saw seals from the ship! and wow there’s even people kayaking too lol.



The ship suddenly went unstable at a point. Insane bobbing up and down of the ship made us lose our balance. Gan ma and I both almost fall down despite holding on to the railings. It was insanely shaking!

After that we came to a grand waterfall! most grand one in milford i guess.



that is how powerful the water is when it splashed down at our ship



After the cruise which is around noon, we headed back to queenstown via te anau.Passed by a patch of land with many many flowers(walter street) and stream. It was so irresistable that we decided to stop the van and admire the scenery. haha.

irresistable! lol...





i like this pic below xD



Ate dinner at Te anau.

walking towards a chinese restaurant but in the end decided not to eat there



Had beef,



pork,



and mutton chop(no pic).

Doesnt seem very appetizing i think? lol.. but is one of the cheapest meals we've eaten in nz

Then headed back to queenstown. camped in the van again at queenstown holiday park.

i guess thats all for the day >D
