When in New Zealand!

A trip to Stewart Island

Hiking

So one year I went to visit my friend in Southland, NZ and we went to Stewart Island which is the southernmost point in NZ that you can go to :) This involved crossing Foveaux Strait, a very rough stretch of water, and the Strait is right in the middle of the Roaring 40's wind funnel.

Stewart Island is very beautiful with amazing beaches. We walked around the island and enjoyed the scenery!

We watched out for kiwis on the road! A kiwi is a native NZ bird, but also a nickname for people from NZ

We didn't see any of the kiwis, but we did spot a penguin!

and encountered a traffic jam Stewart Island style!

We also went to Ulva Island which is rodent free thanks to Department of Conservation rules about visiting the island.

We saw lots of wekas!

I would recommend visiting Stewart Island for its beauty!

It's amazing! Perhaps do you know if the weather there is usually cloud?
