Random NZ Things


Took a boat on a fjord.

The seals we saw on the fjord.

We went to Puzzling World which has a bunch of optical illusions. This room was at a 30 degree tilt but really messed with your mind and made me slightly dizzy. 


Yes, Ross, we drove here, got out of the car and walked 50 metres just to see this tree! (Apparently a local landmark).


Deer hunting is big here. This bar had quite a few hanging from the rafters and on Ross's head.



We saw lots of these NZ Christmas Trees - blazing red flowers that bloom in December. Pohutukawe

Watching the sun set over the Tasman Sea between NZ and Australia.

Feeding eels at a Kiwi sanctuary. Hmmmm
You could also pet them. Hmmm

We saw 2 kiwis at the sanctuary. No photos allowed so this is a photo of a photo.


Another interesting geographical feature - Pancake Rocks. Flat rocks stacked on top of each other.


A 1.5 hr hike up to see Fox Glacier. Lots of helicopters flying around.

Not much here to indicate it’s Christmas but every once in a while a giant gas station Santa.

NZ must have more waterfalls per capital than any other country.

This statue at the Gumboot capital of the world New Zealand. Every year there is a gumboot festival which features a gumboot throwing contest.
We’re headed north now - hopefully with better weather. Temperature range of 6-18 some rain.
