Part 2 - New Zealand

Rotorua - North island: geothermal activity all over the place - these pictures are from Craters of the Moon





Huge rapids at Rotorua

Wellington - a nice capital city!
We visited a large bird sanctury with a huge perimeter fence to stop predators and allow NZ wildlife to thrive....

Christmas was spent at the North of the South Island in the Abel Tasmin National Park.
Farewell Spit with amazing sand dunes and birds.
Christmas day walk on the freezing beach...




The road from Greymouth provided an interesting distraction "the largest sandfly" hanging from an odd cafe.

Franz Joseph and a flight over the glaciers in the south was amazing!













Searching for penguins - Sadly, they had left for the summer


Waterfalls on the way to the glaciers



Taking a dip in icy blue pools after braving the suspension bridge!






On the way to Milford Sound from Te Anau

Te Anau and a rare fibre glass bird attraction!
