Well, I saw a green parrot called a Kea. It can fly and looks like this:

Up to now we spent about three days in Maleysia, 9 days on the North Island and 5 on the south island.

Amongst others we did a couple of hikes (vulcanic Toraringo and White Island, Abel Tasman track, Franz Josef glacier) and a lot of boat rides.

We have had a huge amount of good luck regarding the weather, but tomorrow will be bad and our scheduled Routeburn track two day hike is cancelled.

So we decided to go south even more and visit Dunedin and the eastern shores of the South Island. The weather should be better there.

Still planned are the Kepler Track (3 days), Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Mt Cook, Mt Aspiring. A lot to do and the weather looks to be improving. But it will be cold (12 degrees C)
