Wekas are flightless relatives of the kiwi with legitimate dinosaur feet, and they are fearless. You know how the velociraptors in Jurassic Park bob their heads around the kitchen? That's these guys around a picnic table or campsite. One was close enough to peck at my feet, but before it could I decided I didn't really want to know what that feels like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d43d70e4fcb5c486b1160e/1478550583363-5R9MKWZZ77DSL4PIQMJ4/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Sights & Sounds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d43d70e4fcb5c486b1160e/1479040358399-RI9RG7BK927JDR4HNU62/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Sights & Sounds Sight: day one of our Abel Tasman track was a sea kayaking adventure along the coast, a vessel we were unfamiliar with to that point (boat #3). We had planned on a second day of kayaking but opted out when the rental company mentioned the 30km headwinds and up to two-meter swells that we would be facing. We decided we are better- and more comfortable - walkers than we are kayakers. It did give us the opportunity to come within 15 feet of a seal- one that was vigorously in the middle of lunching on a squid. As it thrashed back and forth on the surface of the water, it looked like it was having quite a tough time chewing its calamari. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d43d70e4fcb5c486b1160e/1478548138248-J6ADBJCNBJAN0J4O83NE/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Sights & Sounds View from Te Mata Peak Mountain Bike Park.
