What a cool day! Especially as an unplanned substitute day for bad weather. My favorite NZ Bird is the Kakepo - Worlds largest Parrot - so cool. But only a few hundred left alive sadly. There are some in a few zoo's, and the rest live on 3 islands (no go zones) bottom of the South Island. Best part of a walk in the rain, in beautiful country; is getting back home or into a pub for a hot pie and a beer.
Kakepos are so cute! Apparently you can apply to feed them during the breeding season on one of the islands which seems like a really good opportunity, we might apply. A good pint after a walk cannot be beaten!
So glad you saw the glacier! ❤
So are we! We weren't expecting it at all!
So glad you've visited the Hokitika gorge. Enjoy your journey on the West Coast
Thank you so much! The gorge was so lovely!

Sad that you weren’t able to film the kiwis 😢 feeding the eels looked like good fun however
The eels were really cool (and surprisingly slimy!)
