We didn’t visit the zoo but I loved this set of four art cards found in the mall. On the back: “Of course it’s on recycled paper”

“This unique, flightless bird is so readily identified with New Zealand that it has virtually superseded the fern leaf as the country’s emblem. However, being strictly nocturnal, it is seldom seen in the flesh except in parks and zoos. ” While at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, we saw a live kiwi and learned that there are 17 of them in captivity in the United States.

It is said that there are 4.18 million people living in New Zealand–and 40.1 million sheep, or 10 sheep for every person. We saw sheep “out and about” during our stay in New Zealand as well! This photo, my favorite of all my postcards, shows sheep on the move outside the Vulcan Hotel in Central Otago. Oh–and Aotearoa is the Maori word for New Zealand!

“Fertile pastures, snow-clad mountains, native forest, magnificent seascapes–all combine to make New Zealand a land of great natural beauty.” Amen to that!

Boaters’ paradise here! “Yachts and launches at their moorings in Auckland’s Westhaven Marina, with the Skytower beyond.”

Love this wooden map card! We stayed in Auckland, on the North Island.
