Today is Ted’s birthday!!! I picked up a huge piece of red velvet cake for us to enjoy later on. This morning we had coffee in the animal sanctuary in Franz Josef - we saw a rare type of Kiwi birds, blue penguins that have been rescued because they are missing a limb, and the tuataras- reptiles. All three only live in New Zealand. We were there for the feeding of the penguins and the associated talk. Interesting.
Then it was a short drive to the town of Ross and the historic Empire hotel. When I was cycling through a month ago, it was raining when I passed through, and didn’t realize the gem that I passed up by going to the next town of Harihari. So we stopped in to check it out today, and we will be staying here tonight!!! There’s a huge open fireplace in the centre of the bar, we have a huge modern room, and there’s a roast buffet tonight. I think Ted is happy for his birthday. We also ate the cake while sitting on the beach!!! 😃😃😃
