New Zealand: Milford Track Day 4 (part 1)
Day 4
This day was so awesome I have to split it into two posts:
Part 1: Dumpling Hut to Sandfly Point:
Up early and on the track by 7.
Today's timing is critical. We have to go twelve miles to get to sandfly point as close to 2 pm as possible without being late. Later than 2 and we miss our boat. Arrive too early and we have to wait among the sandflies.
So I was a bit anxious, but we had a good trip itinerary based on the landmarks from the hut ranger.
It rained on us for about 5 minutes but great weather the rest of the day.
So many waterfalls, it was too easy to lose count.
The last mile was the toughest, after going 33 miles in 4 days, with most of that being the last 3.
We made it to sandfly point with about ten minutes to spare. Perfect.
The 20 minute ferry ride across milford sound was so friggin awesome it deserves its own post. coming soon
