TUESDAY 9 OCTOBER - A Very Special Treat This was the day for our big treat of the trip and a visit to Zion Wildlife Gardens in Kamo, near Whangarei. Zion is the home to television's "Lion Man" Craig Busch and is a sanctuary to some of the world's rarest big cats - Barbary and white lions, Royal white and orange Bengall tigers, some very cute cubs, two Serval cats, a black leopard and a baboon. We took the tour of the park which was absolutely amazing ...

This is the city of Wellington,the capital of New Zealand. It is the starting point of our trip and we are in the final stages of preparation.
