The Routeburn track is one of nine Great Walks in New Zealand which are well-marked and serviced with huts, meaning one doesn't have to carry a tent, which is nice.
The walk takes three days, and we had great weather for days one and three. Day two, which was entirely above the tree line, was rainy and cloudy. Luckily there were enough breaks in the trees on day three that we were able to glimpse similar views to those we had missed the day before.
After we finished we took a bus to Milford Sound (which by the way, is not a sound, it's a fjord) and we were just in time to catch the last boat trip of the day.
