I Was Attacked By A Kea

Today we are driving to Milford Sound.  On the way we saw lots of sheep and where they filmed Lord Of The Rings.  We also saw a steam train.  Two hours into the drive We started to see natural waterfalls.  It was raining really hard for the trip, and the rain made so many waterfalls.  Then we saw them constantly, and when we stopped to look at the waterfalls a bird called to Kea flew on the roof of the car.  The Kea is a type of parrot that lives in New Zealand, and it started to peck and try and get into the car and then it started to rip the rubber into little pieces.  It had yellow feathers when it opened it's wings and when it closed its wing it was all green.  It was very playful and very curious.

A Kea wants to eat our car!

When we got on the boat at Milford Sound and we found our seats and then the boat started going.  We had to leave the dock before we could go outside.  We saw really tall waterfalls and the water was spring water so we could drink from it.

 Then we saw sea lions but we didn't see penguins.  We went to the last place to see penguins and we saw three!!  They were in their natural habitat.  I saw the blue bellied one and a yellow eyed one!

Yellow Eyed Penguin

We went home and I watched and watched Norwich vs. Arsenal.  Arsenal won 2-1.  Then we watched snooker. Snooker is a game like pool, but they have a table 6 feet wide by 12 feet long. They have to hit a red ball in first then a colored ball.  It was the finals but I fell asleep watching it.  It was so much fun!
