    Punakaiki Day Two

    26 februari, Nya Zeeland ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    I did some hiking around the area and saw a number of these Weka birds which are native flightless birds of New Zealand. Until humans landed in New Zealand there where no land mammals so the first birds that arrived in New Zealand had nothing to run from on the ground. So a number of different bird specs became flightless.Läs mer

    Fox Glacier

    1 mars, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    Went on a hike to see Fox Glacier. There was a huge landslide which made the area in front of the glacier unsafe to hike. So this is as closet as one can get to the glacier by hiking. The last picture is the one lane bridge I had to run across so I would not get run over by a car.Läs mer

    Hel

    2 mars, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C

    For my birthday I took a helicopter flight up to Fox Glacier. It was an impressive experience and I do recommend taking a helicopter flight up to a glacier if you ever get a chance. Also make sure the helicopter has doors because apparently the helicopters in Australia do not have doors.Läs mer

    Queenstown

    4 mars, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Queenstown is known as the adventure capital of New Zealand and while I would agree with that statement, I am not a fan of Queenstown. Queenstown is a ski town and I thought it was over priced, to dry, to dusty and of all the time I have spent in New Zealand, Queenstown had the very first thing I did not like, the foreign tourist. I felt they where to snobby and looked down on homeless people who were pushing all their worldly belongings and carrying a plastic bag. Now that I am thinking about it, Banff is a ski town, maybe I should get a cloth bag.Läs mer

    Dunedin

    12 mars, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    These are a collection of pictures I took around Dunedin. I really liked Dunedin, it is a college town and reminded me a lot of the college town around the university I went to. The college in Dunedin has the only dental school in New Zealand and has a medical school. Dunedin was founded by Scottish settlers and the farms in the area look very similar to Scotland.Läs mer

    World's Steepest Street

    12 mars, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    For $20 you can buy a book about Baldwin St to learn about its history and why it is the world's steepest street. When the street was constructed they did not know it would be the world's steepest.

    Dunedin Coastal Animals

    13 mars, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    The penguin is a Yellow Eye penguin. I also got to see an Albatross and was kind of disappointed. The Albatross looked like a really big sea gull. The last picture shows just how windy this area is. I also learned that when the wind blows over the sea, their is a slight air uplift at the peak of each swell. Sea birds use this uplift which allows them to fly long distances with little effort.Läs mer
