So we had an awesome trip to the Auckland Zoo! Kiwi, Kate, Adam, Regan and I packed a picnic lunch and headed to the Zoo. The weather was beautiful and turned out to be 28 degrees!
We sat in some shade and had a picnic, I had a Ginger Beer (yum!) and we had some sandwiches and chips.
We walked around the park and as much as I wish I had a picture to show of a real Kiwi... (other than my boyfriend har har) they are in a nocturnal exhibit so you can't take pictures. BUT I can say that I saw two of them and they are cute!
There were lions and tigers and... no, no bears :P But they had Meerkats! There were random chickens and roosters wandering around too lol... maybe they're food?
After the zoo, we went back home for a wonderful dinner of roast beef, yorkshire puddings, roasted potatoes, beans and peas (ew... I tried one because apparently they are these minted baby peas but alas my hate for peas transcends NZ peas. Sorry!) I was exhausted and had a small nap before dinner, and watched Kiwi inhale somewhere around 12-15 yorkshire puddings. I had 5 :D Yummy!
It was an awesome day and oh so tiring... but the company was wonderful even though I was a tad anti-social at times because I was so tired. I'm hoping to not be so tired soon so today is a rest day where we are just going to organzie our room and chill.
Kiwi's Kiwi word of the day: JANDALS. It means: sandals. It makes me giggle every time. :P
PS- photo uploading being a pain, will put more later

I love yorkshire pudding!! Sounds yummy. I know how you feel about being tired!! It took me a couple of days to used to things too.
Glad your having fun.
