Yuki and I are off on another great adventure :) Heading to New Zealand for a road trip with friends :) I'm not sure what sort of Internet access I'll find on the way but I will post photos when I can :)

We are stopping the night in Melbourne ready to catch a plane at 9:05am :) Yuki is already hogging the bed!

Hi IMR, happy holidays! I'm a little jealous. NWZ is such a beautiful country!
Maybe you'll see a Hobbit or a dwarf. If you encounter Thorin, can you send him to me? I'll pay you the costs back hahahaha  ;D  :pirate-sword:
I'm curious about the pictures ;) :)

Went to the spectacular Zealandia wildlife preserve today, we had a fabulous time exploring 10 kilometres of walking trails (there were more!) and exploring the exhibition hall. So many wonderful native birds to see, here are a few favourites:

The Takahe, clawing its way back from the brink of extinction.

A pair of Saddlebacks, it took us half an hour to get this shot! Also endangered.

Part of the Zealandia dam, which is now almost emptied and no longer used for water storage. It is kept partly full for the animals and wetlands.

A Kaka, native parrot.

Tuatara, these guys saw the dinosaurs come and go.

Scaup ducklings :) They and their mama were enjoying the sun.

Pied shag sitting on a nest, some of the chicks were hatched :)

Awesome! Sounds like you're having lots of fun! I like birds. All of their calls and songs are so different.

Great photos! Especially, love the KaKa, but what did he do to get a name like that? ;D

Hehe, not sure :D very curious birds :)

Yesterday we started with a cable car up to the Botanical gardens which starts at the top of Wellington and winds it's way down to the Quay, a lovely walk, sadly our time was cut a bit short by the rain which set in, so we headed off to the New Zealand bank museum, Parliament House and we started exploring Te Papa (Wellington's Museum of Natural History) but we ran out of time there and are heading back this morning :)

Cable car heading back down

Maori head sculpture

Maori Theatre at Te Papa

Lovely succulent garden at the botanical garden, also saw Pleo food ;)

These beauties greet you at Te Papa :D

Yuki's been stuck in the hotel room, the weather has been a bit damp :( She did hit the museum with us today though so I have some photos forthcoming :) It's pretty late here now and we are hitting the hay after the night out.

Guess who got a signed copy of the Hobbit today ;)

It looks like your having a fantastic time :)  Sounds like you need to get Yuki a rain coat and some gum boots so she can join in the sight seeing  :)

We told Yuki it was a tree...

Maori Temple with Yuki acting as a god of course ;)

Yuki tries to eat New Zealand. She said it tasted like kiwi fruit of course.

We got to hold Gandalf's staff at the Weta Cave, this is where the film magic happens! I also bought myself a V-Rex skull ;) My friend doesn't want any pictures of herself public so I won't show it, but it was really cool. Here's me with a troll instead :P
