Suidide Penguins and Seals Showing Off

It’s been another hectic few days in NZLand.  I think I am still recovering from the shock of nearly running over one of the world’s rarest penguins.  It was unfair for the penguin to include us in its suicide mission but you can’t trust a penguin can you.  Just ask Batman.

I am officially tired and hot.  We had to get up at 6am this morning to go kayaking.  After a huge bowl of porridge t0 set us up for the day we were soon on the water in Milford Sound and kayaking our little butts off.  Milford Sound is beautiful and I loved seeing it all from the kayak.  We made friends with a seal that swam with us and kept showing off doing jumps and swimming on its back then staying stationary with its tail in the air .  Showing off is definitely a positive trait in animals.  Later on we also saw a pod of dolphins who were equally entertaining.

After kayaking under Stirling Falls and managing a good 28km of paddling we ended up out in the Tasman Sea nearing the coast of Australia, well almost.  A good mornings exercise and definitely enough to earn a very large and delicious burger from Queenstown finest burger establishment without too much guilt.
