Adventures Day Two

After a night of camping rough - no holiday park, just parked at the end of a dirt road - we headed off for our second day of adventures. First up, flying to Milford Sound. Michael rented a plane and took us on a 90 minute sight seeing tour.



The scenery is just amazing. We flew over big snow-covered mountains. In our small plane we were able to fly between the mountains all the way to Milford Sound on the Tasman Sea.





On the flight back clouds were coming in below us in the mountains which made for some incredible sights.





Our final adventure was not one we had planned but it too was really cool. Susanne's friend Lee works on the 1992 New Zealand America's Cup yacht. The NZ14 does tours twice a day out of Queenstown on Lake Wakatipu. Lee got us half price tickets for the afternoon voyage and we jumped at the chance.



This was the boat with the famous funky keel that was kept secret for so long. This was a wonderful way to see Queenstown and a truly unique experience that I don't think we would have gotten anywhere else.
