We’re off to see a kiwi

Stewart Island is the best place to see kiwi in the bush. It is an hour’s ferry south of South Island and the third-largest island in New Zealand. We really want to see a kiwi in the wild so we’re off to Stewart Island for 5 days to give it a shot.

We’re meeting Elizabeth in Dunedin tonight and driving south to catch the ferry from Invercargill on Wednesday morning. Then we’re doing a three-four day tramp through the bush. Stewart Island is supposed to be a great place to see other birds as well. We’re hoping to see a few new ones in addition to a kiwi. Look for a post about Stewart Island on Monday.

P.S. Elizabeth has actually been gone from NZ since December but just returned to Dunedin! We're really excited to see her again.
