I kept on telling my friends about how many kiwi I saw (7) on the night spotting tour, and added in all the facts and emotion that Mel (the tour guide) provided and now they’ve stopped talking to me. I know they’re just jealous but it still hurts a tad. It’s fine though because every time I close my eyes my new constant companions are there with their cute lil beaks and fluffy lil feathers, and in truth I doubt I will ever feel lonely again.
Yeap on the whole a great tour with a super friendly and knowledgeable guide who had a genuine passion for the critters. Best tour on the island of the kind by far and the best way to get yourself that kiwi tick and validate yourself as an Aotearoan. Now all I gotta do is persuade my friends to go and maybe they’ll start talking to me again.
