The wildlife of Dunedin

Beating daddy with my brain 
On Boxing Day Dunedin was the coldest town in New Zealand. It was 15 degrees. We went to a museum. First we went into a science play area bit. There was a game where you had to blow a ball into a basketball hoop. There was also a bit where you had to sit down and relax with a special headband on. By relaxing you can move a ball into your opponent's goal. Lara beat me, but I beat daddy. 

Then we went into a forest bit where the butterflies actually land on you. To make them land on us, Uncle Nick told us to rub some butterfly food on our hands. 

Here is a picture with my favourite butterfly on me.

This is my favourite butterfly
Also on Boxing Day, we went to see the Glow Worms. We walked into the forest near Uncle Nick's house and had to wait until it was dark. Little lights appeared all around us. It was amazing but I was very tired because it was very late. 

On Thursday 27th we went to a swimming pool by the sea. We all went in except daddy and Grumpfer. There was a small pool and big pool filled with salt water. In the afternoon, we drove to the end of the peninsular to see the Albatrosses. They were very big. I looked through Uncle Nick's binoculars and saw some seals on the rocks nearby. They were sunbathing. 


Later on Thursday, we drove back to the same place to see the Blue Penguins. They were going across the beach beside us, back to their nests. The Blue Penguins were scared of the sea lions and so swam quickly to the shore and waddled up the beach. I liked this better than the Glow worms.
