walking the pigs, but not the lions
one of those long nosed things
a proud lion (and friend)
running ostriches are always funny

the birds at auckland zoo
the birds at auckland zoo wre very good at sitting next to their sign posts so you could see what they were.
although sometimes you did need to look closely to see where they were
and if you stood still long enough they would fly at you
and sit on your head
but elsewhere they just looked and stared
windy wellington
i got the opportunity to go up one of the hills behind Wellington on my flying visit to see the view from the wind turbine up there.
that bit of water separates the north and south islands.
wind is in plentiful supply in wellington

sky tower

whilst esther showed she was made of sterner stuff and initially danced on it
then sat and watched the world go by
