Milford Sound


hey! Well yesterday me and Laura headed over to Milford Sound. On the way there it snowed..now for me as a Canadian snow in October is "normal" however it doesn't happen alot in New Zealand and that was the first time i actually saw it snowing. yes i did see snow while i was on the Southern Alps, however that was just hard snow that you could barely sink into. This was actually slushy type snow! i was SO excited...except seeing it snow reminded me of working @ Eddie Bauer, don't ask me why, it just did!

Here's a basic idea of what we saw @ Milford Sound (see left pic) and i think that's probably the same boat we went on too :) However at the beginning of our boat tour it was raining and cloudy so we couldn't see anything, so that kinda sucked....but by the end things cleared up a bit and we could see Mitre Peak (pictured here) and Bowen Falls. I think Milford Sound was where they filmed this part of the Lord of the Rings (see right pic) ...

Right now Laura's waiting to go bungy jumping... from 440ft!! She's crazy! I was going to do that, then i realized how high that was so then i wanted to bungy off a bridge from 43m (i don't know what that is in feet)...then I realised i'm running out of money and i need to shop for some people down here too, that way that's all out of hte way for Christmas and stuff like that. So now I"m not going bungy jumping....SORRY TO DISSAPPOINT Y'ALL!! but what can you do? I already went skydiving and took a helicopter into the Southern Alps...that's definately more than some poeple can say! Well i gtg. Love you all SO SO much! Hope to hear from you soon! God bless!
