In New Zealand, if you like something a lot or think it's really cool, you'd call it, "sweet as." Not "sweet as something", just"sweet as."
Our tramping trip to Milford Sound ended with - a cruise through the massive Fiordland National Park and it was "Sweet As." The crystal clear water in the park is so deep that cruise ships can’t reach the bottom to anchor. I lost count of the massive waterfalls tumbling into the sea. Our captain tucked the boat alongside one- delighting and drenching those on the top deck! Fur seals struck a pose on rocky outcroppings along the snow-capped mountains as kayak paddlers broke through the mirror-flat waters. Unfortunately, photos just don’t do the fiords justice so you’ll just have to plan your own trip to see them.

Back in
Queenstown, we grabbed one last walk along the water, said goodbye to our
mountain views and toasted our accomplishment in a pub with a group of fellow
walkers.
From this
trip I took away the great respect and stewardship the Kiwis have for their
land. I didn’t see one piece of trash on the entire trip. An active and low
impact lifestyle is the norm for most and they are more than pleased to share
their lovely country. So grab your backpack and jumper, put on your sunnies and
head on down for a flat white- Sweet As!
