Queenstown













On the 17th day of our honeymoon, we wandered around Queenstown. We had brunch at Vudu cafe which has free internet access. It was a great cafe and very tasty food. I highly recommend it.

After a hearty breakfast/brunch, we did a bit of shopping (and more yarn) and went to a bird sanctuary to see kiwis. They are an extremely rare flightless bird of New Zealand. They are nocturnal so the houses are dark. We got there close to feeding time so we stayed to watch them get fed and eat a bit. The kiwis are raised in the houses until breeding age and are then released to "safe" areas in the country where the predators have been eliminated. I managed to get a slightly blurry picture of the kiwi.
