Things you don't see everyday

There were many unique things to be seen in New Zealand.  Milford Sound is an example - but it's not really a sound, it's a fjord.  See if you can find out what the difference is???  Anyway, it's really big.  See if you can find the boats in these photos - they're not small boat.
  In this next one there is a sail boat
One day, as we were on the bus sightseeing, our bus was forced to move off the roadway.  At this point the road goes several miles in both directions along side a lake - with no place to put a house.
Before mankind came to New Zealand - and that was only about 1200 years ago - there were few predatory animals.  So some species, like this flightless bird, were quite safe.  But now there are none of these left.
In Wellington there was some cool architecture both old and new, but I thought this was funny.
