New Zealand South Island 16 -21 November 2008

We opted to fly back to Queenstown rather than spend another 3-4 hours on the bus. Milford Sound is really quite close to Queenstown but there is no direct road to it so you have drive a round about way and it takes close to 4 hours to get there. We were not up to another four hour bus ride. We are glad to flew back. It took 40 minutes and the scenery was beautiful.
