Ryan arrives and then we see some penguins

The last day at the farm has come and gone! Today we packed up all our stuff and drove to Auckland to meet Ryan. Dexter stayed at the farm with Colin and Steve (and their dog Jyn). They will be looking after him while we visit Australia, yay that Dexter doesn't have to stay in a kennel!

We met up with Ryan downtown and then went to Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World. We had been meaning to check this out for awhile, and I'm so glad we went. We got to see my favourite animal: penguins! There were also lots of other cool sea creatures likes sharks and seahorses. 

Mmmm, pre-digested fish

I'm pretty excited to see penguins

  2. I think the blue fish in the last photo is a celebrity already. Hmmm. I think that is Dory from Finding Nemo! Nice photos by the way! It's like I was able to visit the same place too!
