Penguins!!! We finally saw some. In Oamaru...we paid $16 each and were ushered into a covered seating area with about 200 other people. At around 6:30pm the first little blue penguin swam into shore. Then he hopped and flopped and scurried up the rocks. It was hilarious. After he came in about 50 more swam into shore. They live in a Conservation area, there are a whole bunch of protected nest boxes for them. This time of year they are molting, and starting to get ready to mate. Some of the males were producing very sexy croaks and quacks. It was one of the coolest things ever. Penguins....we love 'em. Unfortunately we don't have any photos as the little guys are too sensitive to flashes...but we do have a photos of this road sign for you to enjoy.
