Awake early and all set for another adventure as I had north today…
First stop Owlcatraz! I have always loved owl stories, legends, movies and sounds. I love hearing the owls hoot in our garden but have never seen one, so when I heard about Owlcatraz it was a must visit. Well, it certainly was everything I expected and much, much more… I love the story of the starting of Owlcatraz and the recovery from the storm of 2008 when 600 trees were toppled. It really is a taste of paradise and I am so delighted to have come face-to-face with owls. The owl enclosure is AMAZING. I cannot believe how cute they are…
Next stop Winchester School to meet my long time twitter friend @KiwiNomad08. Thanks a million for a sensational tour of the school, scrumptious picnic lunch, lagoon visit to the coot’s nests, tour of Massey and hill jaunt.
It was truly magic to meet you. I can’t wait to check out your travel blog and follow your travels next year. Thanks again for a magical Palmerston North time.
Next stop was the Plaza to meet my cousins. It was amazing to meet Brad, who is over from Sydney for five days. I really realise how privileged I am to have such a huge, close extended family.
I finally arrived back in Taranaki tonight, in time for card games and watching the fireworks displays. What a magical day.
