Sam in Wellington

After us going up to Auckland last weekend, Sam has been home for a few days. We have had a good time doing family things, mainly eating and drinking. Last night we won the pub quiz we go to about once a month. Today being a fine warm day we decided to visit the Karori Sanctuary (now rebranded as Zealandia). Sam hasn’t been there for about ten years so noticed a few changes. Here are a few photos from the visit.

He really is silly! This is the upper dam from the lookout platform

and me above the forest canopy.

There were two or three tuatara sunning themselves near their burrows

and a great gaggle of shags (I think kawaupaka) on a log in the lower lake.
