We stayed in Hokitika yesterday and had a bit of an animal day. We went to see some kiwis at the National Kiwi Centre as I think it is unlikely that we will see any in the wild. They are strange birds with no wings and a long beak. I knew they were flightless birds but they just look really odd with no wings. After that we checked in at our campsite and they had a small farm there. The kids loved it and although I thought the Llamas were the most interesting animals I couldn't kepp Poppy and Noah away from the pigs. We then just relaxed on the beach for a couple of hours.

Today we are in Franz Josef. This is a really small town but they have the biggest glacier in New Zealand here. So we took a walk up to see it today and that was about our day. Another nice relaxing day. To morrow we are heading to Fox which is another glacier town and then we will be aiming to reach Queenstown on Friday where we will be meeting up with Phil and Chloe (from Wellington) for the weekend.
