Wildlife Encounter
... similar to what we have seen over the past weeks. The views are incredible but nothing has moved me as much as our seal encounter today. Watching my videos put me right back beside these amazing animals. I literally ran out of adjectives to describe my emotions. It was like God had reached out and touched me personally. I can't remember a time I've been this close to an animal in the wild - I think I sometimes came too close from the seals ...

Next day me justine and jim got up super early to catch a shuuttle bus to mount cook, the ...
Cheaky
In the morning we went to Te Papa, which was a free museum all about New Zealand. There was a giant squid in there which was preserved, only one in the world apparently! It was a really good place for a school trip, really kiddie friendly. The first few levels were interesting but after two hours and when we got to the pottery section we gave up!
