Easily the most memorable drive of the holiday. Not just dramatic scenery, but low clouds swirling round the mountains at different heights. We felt privileged to be in the grip of raw, powerful nature.
The reflections from the numerous lakes added to the stark beauty of the place.
Below, I have enlarged the sign in the photo on the left. Corny, I know, but it still raised a smile.
I could have stopped and just looked at the dramatic clouds enveloping the mountains all day long - but it was a long drive.
At times the road climbed high up - all the better for the views!
The first view of Mitre Peak at Milford Sound looked too artificial to be real. Another film set?
The overcast day added to the atmosphere of the place. Ready for our overnight cruise on the sound.
