Queen Charlotte

Mom caught a fantail on her hiking pole, a quite impressive feat.

...and here we are on the lovely Queen Charlotte Track. This was trip #2 for Mum and Dad.

Views were lovely, as usual!

David and the Kaka

These birds, called Kaka, were not the least bit afraid to fly into you in order to get to their food. Mere especially like the way they held their food with their talons.



It was like a scene from The Birds! Really!

Isabelle holds a lamb

This was on the 2nd day of our trip, when we went to the infamous Hobbitown. It was lovely and we had a wonderful time even though we didn't pay to take the tour!

Mere in New Zealand

One thing that Mere learned while living in New Zealand is that "mere mere" is a machete. We love Mere Mere and her interesting signs.
