Kaka point. New zealand


Some of the things I've seen so far in New Zealand are yellow eyed penguins, which are one of the rarest kind of penguins. We wanted to go see penguins. So we went on this long ride to see them. But it was supposed to cost $150. So we didn't go there. Then when we came to this persons house where we are couch surfing. He told us the down the road there is this bay to see penguins called nugget point. So we went there  in the evening before dark and s the penguins come in from the ocean to feed their babies fish that they regurgitate. If they see people to close to them, they don't come in off the beach. If they don't come in soon enough they start to digest the food and they can't feed their babies. So it's important to not be to loud hen they are coming in. 
Another thing we have seen is seals. We have seen at least 50-60. They are usually by the rocky cliffs by the ocean. I like how cute they are and how good they can swim. Seals like to play with each other and are fun to watch. 
Yesterday we went collecting mussels along the rocks. We are going to eat them for supper today. I think they might be gross. 
We have been doing a lot of hiking. We have hiked up to see a lighthouse, albatross, seals and sea lions. 
Today we might go hike to see a blow hole by the ocean and some waterfalls.
