Wellington is New Zealand’s capital, on southern tip of the North Island. This is SOOO lovely … I want to visit!

I would love to see this in person one day! From the card: “The Moeraki Boulders are scattered along the beach at Moeraki, 40km south of Oamaru. The soft mudstone containing the boulders was raised from the seabed around 15 million years ago, and the boulders are being exposed as the cliffs are eroded by the sea.” Otago is on the southern part of the South Island. (Thanks to Maria for this latest batch of cards, too!)

One of my most favorite New Zealand postcards! The Southern Cross is the English name of Crux Australis, a constellation visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Didn’t see it on my visit … maybe next time!

We visited this MASSIVE museum the day after we saw the zoo … and we spent just about ALL DAY there! Highly recommended if you’re in the Columbia area … lots for kids to see and do, too. From the card: “Known as Columbia Mills and later Mount Vernon Mills, the building opened in 1894. It was the first all-electric textile mill in the world and manufactured heavy cotton duck cloth. Since October, 1988, it has been the home of the SC State Museum. On four floors, the museum offers exhibits about the state’s art, history, natural history, science and technology.”

Although I tried desperately to see these little fellows, I couldn’t glimpse more than the back of the mother’s head. Oh well … maybe next time! 🙂

We went to Riverbanks in Columbia, South Carolina, the day after Thanksgiving. A very nice zoo … and we saw the elephants up-close! 🙂
