Great Hike



We went on a sweet hike today. It took about 4 hours round trip, but it was so worth it. The bird is called a Kea. They are NZ's only parrot. They live high in the mountains and are so funny. He is pretty big so curious. He would come within 2 feet of us and throw rocks, and pic up big sticks like a dog. He hopped around more then he flew. Funny bird.
The other pic is of a glacier I think its called Rob Roy but I'm not sure. But we were so lucky going up there today. Because of all the rain we had yesterday there were over 20 waterfalls coming off the glacier!! It was by far the most stunning thing i've seen in NZ to date. The waterfalls are hard to make out on that pic but I think you can make out about 10 of them. Can't get over how nice it was.
