Gondola and Kiwi Park.

After lunch (seafood chowder, dockside) we walked up to the Gondola and took a ride up to Bob's Peak. It is the steepest cable car in the southern hemisphere.

Views from the top are every bit as good as promised.

There is an option to ride a luge to get back down. We didn't do that, we took the gondola down, but we would luge next time.

Adjacent to the gondola is the Kiwi Park.

The park's aim is to educate people about New Zealand's native fauna. Unfortunately the Kiwi house is kept dark as Kiwis are nocturnal and no photography is allowed.

Ones eyes do adjust to the dark somewhat and the Kiwis (the birds that is) are seen as shadowy creatures.
