Nice!
I enjoyed the food in NZ, and found that there was quite a variety. Did you see any deer farms, surrounded by super tall fences? |

Yeah, there was one operation that was really impressive. They had red deer, cattle, and sheep grazing on rotation the grass looked so lush. I'm not sure I was able to get that in a frame... but I'll look.

Weta Workshop
I saw a number of Weta Workshop items around Wellington. Lil' Griff took a tour there during the semester. Smaug and the eagle(s) are in the airport. The soldiers are from a major WWI installation at Te Papa. They take their First World War seriously in NZ. There are monuments to the fallen everywhere you look. http://wetaworkshop.com/projects/ The scale of their work is amazing. Look at the website for a better idea of size.

Really great. What a great thing for you to get to have done with your daughter.
(I didn't note the juggler's rest name at first, either and I thought it was really nice that the place you were staying provided bowling pins. ) |

Those dumb Chinese spent a fortune building their wall. The clever New Zealanders let Mother Nature do it for free.
