Today, we were in two countries. One minute, we are in Aukland, New Zealand checking out the knik-knaks before we changed flights, and four hours later, we are in Melbourne, Australia. This first picture is of me and a (stuffed) Kiwi, a small, flightless, furry bird in one of the toy shops in the New Zealand. (Kiwi is a nickname for a person from New Zealand.) The reason I took this picture is because the Kiwi is the national bird of New Zealand. They are in the same family as ostriches. New Zealand is also famous for the location of filming of "The Hobbit" and for having more sheep than people (lots of good wool products here!).
This other picture is of a possum. The picture was taken in Parliament Gardens in Melbourne, Australia. We also saw St. Patrick's Cathedral and walked along the Yarra River at sunset. We are exausted, but this first day was lots of fun.
