smidey Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 i went to stay with my sister in queenstown for a few days this past weekend. pic taken from my sisters lounge window of the remarkables i was lucky enough to take a flight to milford sound then a cruise down the sound to sea & back again. it is the most amazing place & i would highly recommend seeing NZ before going elsewhere, this place is breath taking. out of the plane heading toward milford sound, this is coronet peak i believe milford airport from above the cruise ship in milford sound 150m waterfall the asain tourists that WERE on the front got quite a surprise when the ship got that close :lol: wasn't cold at all :lol: cheeky bird flying back to queenstown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Milford Sound is beautiful and they aren't called the Remarkables for nothing :lol: i was told they are called that because they are exactely lying north south & the only other mountain range to be that as well is the rockies.

alanmin4304 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 As a kid we always spent our holidays around the lakes and sounds. That was in the good ol days when you could just pitch a tent by a lake without getting arrested. Fond memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 the plane we went in only needed half it's length There are a lot of planes that could land in about 1/20th of its length. Still, you won't be able to do a big lazy turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
