Day 1: Lake Ohau
After driving for a few hours and over several one way bridges we arrived at our destination for the night, the Lake Ohau Resort. A lovely little lodge type setting at the base of a mountain overlooking a lake.
Dinner was fantastic, homemade lasagna with salad and fresh baked bread, and for dessert, fresh baked homemade brownies with whipped cream. The place (or at least the kitchen) is run by a woman who makes these kinds of dinners almost every night for the guests who stay at the resort.
I went for a walk just before dinner around the resort and you could see all the fall colours, it was quite pretty. I think I picked the perfect time to go since the weather was perfect for walking around and you also got to see all the leaves changing colour everywhere in addition to all the beautiful landscape.
It was quite chilly at night but we all managed to stay nice and toasty warm inside. The more adventurous, however, made use of the outdoor hottub. Before going to bed that night we were told to pack an overnight back for the trip to Milford Sound the next day since the boat wouldn't be big enough to store all our luggage.
