Hi Alex,
        Like you, I have a facination with New Zealnad - particularly the South
Island. My comment was relating to a 4 week trip.
        I have been to the South Island 6 times and only one of those times Milford
Sound was clear. I think, as legend has it, every visitor to the South
Island is assigned their own peersonal Kea (Parrot).

Cheers,

Bob

A 7-10 day trip of New Zealand, including both islands, would be a
terrible shame.

I've spent 7 weeks there over two trips (doing a circuit of the north
island one trip and a circuit of the south island on another trip) and
feel like I just barely scratched the surface.  I could have spent
7-10 days in just about any particular region of NZ very easily.

If you must go for such a short time just pick a single island.  The
South Island is scenically more spectacular (if you want to photograph
dramatic landscapes) but the North Island has many very special areas
too.
