Day 58 Murchinson, Maruai Falls Scenic Reserve

Friday morning turned out to be a planning day as the South Island is starting to get busy.  The summer vacations coincide with Christmas Vacations and all the campsites get busy.  Especially anywhere that has a nice beach.  This means that we had to try and figure out when we were going to be in Milford Sound so that we could make reservations.  It is the one spot we do not want to miss.

It was also nice just to sit around and rest a little bit.

The afternoon found us first stopping in Murchinson for a look around and a coffee.  It was extremely hot; we heard reports of 35 degrees C, so we didn’t have a lot of energy.  However we did find enough to go for a drive and take in the Maruai Falls Scenic Reserve.  It was not far out of town and a good way to while away the afternoon.

We returned from the Reserve and spent a quiet and relaxing evening at the campsite.
