kiwi day @ C'est LA viE :: 痞客邦 ::

Again, I went to a trip with sophie and sara, but different is, it was a day trip, and another new french gal from Fonterra joined us!

We went to the bird park at somewhere (oopssy I forgot the place again...because I always sleep in the car, and I do always leave the journey to sophie and sara, hmmm I am wondering if they want to kidnap me, is just a piece of cake!)

we stop at eketahuna for a bit, and found this massive kiwi bird, as the main highlight today is to see the kiwi bird at the bird park, so we decided to take photos with this giant kiwi! And see, it wear all blacks too!!! The rugby world cup heat is spreading everywhere!

Then we arrived the bird park, and walked around, eventually we also done an hour of tramping, walked through the nature jungle and bush~

And of cause, the birds and kiwi!!! But, actually we dint get to see a lot of them, and many displays were actually empty....So kinda not worth to pay 20 dollars for the park. Anyway, I finally see alive kiwi for the first time!?, I seriously not sure if I saw them before at south island, anyway, they are very cute!!!

They had to stay under dim red light all time, and they move very frequently, so is actually very hard to capture them with the lens....This is the only clear photo we able to get.

and the bird park also hatched the kiwi, well we missed the time when the little baby kiwi born, sigh...anyway, i can imagine how fragile they are to be stayed in this small hatching box....

So, after the kiwi park, we had lunch, then move on to the next stop: the OTAKI GORGE!!!

This brigde is really scary!!! And I actually really inconfident to walk across the gorge, omg!!

u see the holes!!! You see what underneath!!! And from the photo, it looked like the bridge is close to the gorge, but actually it is not, it is so HIGH!!!! And to date: is a suspension bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really believe myself that I have acrophobia....(fear of heights) now....I was being pushed and encouraged to walk, still remember sara, sophie and eveanne shouted at me: vivian u can do it!! come on, is safe!! Look at the view, is so beautiful!! dont look down, look at the view! .....haha thanks gals!!! =) I am impressed and proud of myself

so I walked, and sara just followed closely after me, to ensure I am alright, thanks sara, u were so sweet! And u can see, the bridge is so long, and I really not dare to look down, or even the view, just hold the handrial very tightly.....==

But luckily sophie took some photos of the amazing gorge!
