Jack and Niamh's Sabbatical Adventures

Wellington and the start of the South Island

Our first stop in Wellington was Zealandia which is a fenced off predator-free reserve with loads of native birds

A North Island robin was extremely inquisitive
Jack was mobbed by baby quail
And had a bizarre feijoa custard sour
Next day on the ferry I was paranoid about being sick . . . So stayed outside in 80mph winds
Almost broke the window to get to these dogs on the ferry

We arrived at Abel Tasman last night in the dark and put our tent up in the rain in a record 20 minutes flat! Then today did a walk – tomorrow is kayaking!

We saw quite a few weka!
