Dear Family and Friends,

1st May 2016

Here's the best of the extraordinary Milford Sound in SW South Islands fiord land and the 3 hour journey to reach the head of the sound.

The best way to see this place is to catch a coach with a guided tour, that way everyone gets to enjoy an informative commentary and the scenery.

All our best,

Lynne and Alan
