The Milford Track








Wow!!! Wow, wow, wow!!!!!! A couple of days ago I finished doing the Milford Track, a 4 day trek through some of the most amazing landscape. It is surpossed to be the best walk in New Zealand and one of the best in the world and I can now see why. It was SO amazing!!! You normally have to book at least 6 months ahead 'cos they limit numbers on the track but I got in the day before because somebody cancelled! How lucky am I?? It is definately one of the highlights of the trip so far....one of the highlights of my life even. It was really hard work. 33.5 miles with a full backpack on but totally worth the pain. I even climbed up and over a mountain!!!! How cool is that? The views and atmostphere at the top was impossible to describe, I literally climbed upto and over the clouds. Simply bliss. You may get a hint at how beautiful it was from the photographs but they are nothing to the real thing. Heaven.
