Wouldn't call it a spoiler, more of an early peek. You'd prolly get the picture in a few turns anyway, when you'll see all yellow on the WM diminish

Hi Aggie, If your willing to go for a walk in the mountains down south there is an awesome looking green parrot (Cant remember it's name) that lives up there. He doesn't fly, he just walks on the ground. He lives amongst the tufts of grass and looks pretty spectacular.
Have a good one.

aggie,he meant not keas but kakapos
Kea = flies, shouts 'kea, kea' all the time (ornithologists love that, makes them easy to identify) Kakapo = walks, hides, is quiet --> extremely hard to find (also because there are like 30 or so left that all now live on a tiny island where they were taken to protect them from cats and mice)

Beware of the killer moa's! Did you see any? That'd be cool since they're extinct. Oh, do they sell conquests over there?

Thanks Killer I couldn't remember the name ( I was too lazy to walk to the bookshelf ). I didn't realize that they had moved them to an island. I hope they increase their numbers again.
Aggie. How about a bit of info on where you've been and what you've done so far?

Well, I saw a green parrot called a Kea. It can fly and looks like this:
http://danny.oz.au/travel/new_zealand/j/kea.jpg 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) |
