Today a new driver picked us up in Wellington but we had some old faces on board. We were starting to bump into fellow passengers from the south island and enjoyed catching up. The bus started it's hilly climb through the Rimutaka ranges. Our first stop was at the oldest bird sanctuary in the country in Mt Bruce. Unfortunately there were almost no birds to be found as we walked through the trails today. However we did enjoy viewing a kiwi bird poke around in their almost pitch black shelter. I never thought we were actually going to get a chance to see one. I was also excited to actually get to see a Tuatara, the world's last 'living dinosaur', and the country's rarest inhabitant.
