THE TOWN BASIN AND CATERPILLARS

Once again we were lucky with the weather for the Parkinson walk and walked around the Loop at the Town Basin.  We started near The Warehouse and walked across Te Matau a Pohe bascule bridge.  The reflection was lovely although the tide was extremely low.




Further around, the boats looked good in the sunshine with the Hundertwasser dome in the background.





We stopped next to the Hundertwasser building for morning tea with a shorter walk back to our cars.

The whole walk is 4.2 kms. 

When we got home I noticed some Monarch caterpillars so collected them to put in the cage.  Not sure how many I ended up with but a lot.  This is just a few of them.  (This week we have been having our coldest weather so far this winter. Down to 4°C in the mornings.)
