... you can visit different wildlife centers, but they are pretty expensive. So, instead we went on a short hike along the coast and spotted some albatross, or at least birds that had a huge wingspan and wings that are white underneath black on top. The rough coast made for some fun viewing of the waves crushing against the cliffs. Also, what we first thought were penguins turned out to be something else when zoomed in on the picture we took, but oh well.

... the front wall has been destroyed and you can see the chairs and tables still in the rooms. The floors sag towards the ground, and the glass from the window panes is shattered on the floor. It is a depressing place to be, yet the spirit of the Kiwis who live here is great- they are all so positive! When I first arrived at the hostel, I met some people eating dinner who told me to watch out for the plant ...
