Milford Sound

          About a month ago Tyler and I rented a car and headed to Te Anau, New Zealand to go kayaking in Milford Sound.  Milford Sound is one of the most visited tourist spots in New Zealand.  People come to see its beautiful scenery and diverse wildlife.  The first day we were in Te Anau we spent the day walking around town.  We stopped at the most dangerous children's playground I have ever seen and also played a quick round of mini golf.


          The next day we went kayaking in Milford Sound.  After putting on some really cute outfits we set out on the water for four hours. 
          Kayaking in Milford definitely didn't turn out how we expected.  We got rained on for the last two hours of our trip, but still ended up having a pretty good time.  It was very cloudy, so the views weren't as good as they could have been, but we did see an amazing waterfall that was filmed in the movie Wolverine.  Later that night we left Te Anau to head home to Dunedin.  On the way we stopped to feed a little Kea (one of the world's only alpine parrots) on the side of the road.
