The Milford Track

So just on the 14th Graeme, Kelsey, Brendan, and myself went on a very amazing trek called the Milford track. It is a four day trek through a pass between two mountains. Technically they're no longer mountains but they are big enough for me to call them Mountains! On the first day we caught a ferry from lake Te Anau to the start of the trek. That day we only had to walk a small way. We go to our hut and had our supper then the hut ranger had a talk about what to expect the next day. This happened at every hut and it was VERY helpful. The next day we walked for about 5-6 hours. It was mostly flat so it wasn't too hard. We saw so many birds! And a bunch came up right to our faces! They are so beautiful! The next day was the 6-7 hours! A very long day. This was the day where we climbed up to the top of the pass and then went down into Aurther Valley. The going up was EASY! No lie. It was the easiest part of the whole trek, I believe. The top was amazing! On our way down we saw many waterfalls and birds and rivers, or as they sometimes like to call them, creeks. These are NOT creeks! Just wait till You see photos of these so called creeks. That day was a great day! The hardest part was going DOWN HILL! I am not crazy. Anyways we finished that day and started the last. It was a 5:30-6 hour hike to a place called sandfly point. Sandflies are 100% worse than mosquitoes. And this area was just FULL of them. Bug spray does not work. After that we went from there to Milford Sound. it was BEAUTIFUL! Everything was amazing. My feet are sore and my shoulders are dead but it was worth every pain, penny, and minuet! I didn't give you all a very good decription of what happened because I want to have at lease one story to tell you when I get back home! Oh and Sutherland Falls was amazing! I can't wait to show you all pictures and tell you everything! :) Now I am in Queenstown about to go have a victory Furgburger!
