kiwi culture

New Zealand native pukekos make you think that  Dr Seuss must have come here for inspiration.  They have large orange beaks, blue and black feather and very large feet.

Max likes to chase them.  This one would even chase him back once he out ran Max.

The kids had fun exploring a full scale Maori village, while Lonnie hung out in the car with sleeping Trent.

The Waitangi Treaty Grounds were beautiful.   The cultural presentation was impressive and the kids were excited to see the Waka.  Which was about when their patience ended.  They could have done without the tour.
