We did try to do some shopping yesterday but our time was really limited and the stores closed early. We are in Queenstown for a couple more nights, so hopefully we actually are in the town area to do some shopping.
Today we are off to Milford Sound a 4 hour drive away.
Here is a scene along the road in Fiordland National Park. The park does not allow any non-native trees or plants to grow or thrive in the park. We also have seen several possum as road kill. The New Zealanders have a joke related to that. Why did the chicken cross the road? Just to prove to the possum that it could be done.
We stopped by Mirror Lakes which were to reflect but due to a brisk wind, the water did not reflect very well at all.
You can see the little ripples in one of the Mirror Lakes.
This is Falls Creek which has this huge fast moving waterfall that moves rapidly into the creek. My photos look a little blurred due to the motion of the water.
Monkey Creek in the foreground with mountains surrounding it. The old explorers climbed over a tree slip or tree slide off the mountain. The tree slide made it difficult for them to climb so they climbed like monkeys from branch to branch.
