It’s time to go home and hang out with Jarvis and Ivy now.

Tuatara and Ducklings and Takahē, oh my!
Some creatures, both familiar and less so, found at Zealandia Sanctuary. Zealandia is pretty cool, they’re working on restoring a large area of forest back to it’s original state.
Fun fact: Tuatara look like lizards, but are not. They’re the last remaining species on their evolutionary branch. Their common ancestor with modern lizards lived 200m years ago.
Porirua Harbour, New Zealand
I was lazy about booking hotels in Wellington, so we had to travel north to find accommodation for the weekend.
My laziness paid off.
Beer
I’m fairly certain this is the only way to order beer in New Zealand.
Queenstown: Third Edition
One day, I’ll stop posting different shots of the same scene. Today is not that day.
The nearby mountains, which I forgot to mention are rather aptly named The Remarkables, received a light dusting of snow overnight. I thought it provided interesting definition to the rocky peaks.
Queenstown: Second Edition
The same shot as previously, but this time overcast, with clouds rolling through the valley.
The colour of the lake changes dramatically depending on the weather – from crystal blue, through to a deep jade and to nearly black.
