My most fave pic that Ayah took throughout our Aotearoa trip.Daddy's little girl =)
Piopiotahi.Funny as it might sounds in Maori,it is a famous tourist attraction especially nature and picturesque scenery lovers.There is hardly any people living there as they are no facilities and accommodation there.Not even a traffic light.The nearest town from Milford Sound will be Te Anau which is 2hours away.
We departed from Queenstown,driving our rental car as early as 8 in the morning on our 2nd last day in Queenstown.The journey took approximately 3hours and half to reach Milford Sound.There was neither motorway nor a highway throughout the journey except long winding 1 lane roads.Upon reaching Milford Sound,we could see waterfalls,river banks and splendid sights of nature outside.It was mesmerizing.
We arrived Milford Sound just on time for our nature cruise with Real Journeys on a big cruise called Milford Mariner.
It was a 2hour sightseeing cruise with specialist nature guides on board.We received a close up experience of Milford Sound's rainforest,soaring rock walls and wildlife such as dolphins,seals and penguins.Sadly,not the penguins that day.They might have been hibernating somewhere around the fiords coz not even their sulphur-yellow eyebrows were seen ='( Dolphins were everywhere,happily racing with our cruise while there were adorable seals doing back strokes by the rookery.Didn't snap any pictures of them though,and now I'm regretting it.
The views were breathtaking.
Milford Sound was truly unique and awe inspiring location.Going on a Milford Sound sightseeing cruise was 1 of the must-do experiences in New Zealand that we managed to achieve.
The next day,it was time to leave Queenstown.Not just Queenstown,our flight departing for KUL was due on the same evening from Auckland.
The Mill House-our little cabin at Queenstown.
The last 2 pictures taken at Queenstown.
It was a memorable trip to Aotearoa.All of us had the best of times,all thanks to Ayah for being such a generous gentlemen funding our expenses there.Well,he's planning another trip next year,not to sure bout the destination though.All I know is that I can't wait to pack my bags again and leave the our miserable haunting daily routines,also known as responsibilities.
I guess this would be my last entry on New Zealand,so hope you folks are prepared and 'thrilled' to read bout the usual stuffs going on in my life in the coming entries =P Til then folks!
