On one Sunday, we went to a package tour, Waitomo Glowworm Caves and Otorohanga Kiwi House, which we booked via the social program provided by the school. I actually waited for this tour since the first week, when we decided to go to Hobbiton, not knowing that the Kiwi House tour was only offered once a month. Anyway, I was excited to go on the tour for basically the whole week leading up to it, only to be sick on Saturday and Thursday. Actually, we both were sick.
Of course, I wouldn’t let a trivial thing like being sick get between me and the Kiwi House, so we got up early on Sunday and went on the tour bus.
The Kiwi house was actually quite interesting. There were four “jetlagged” Kiwis that were awake during the day and a lot of other birds such as parakeets and new zealand wood pidgeons. Sadly, we were not allowed to take pictures of the kiwis. It was definitely worth the visit, even when sick.
