There is so much cool and weird stuff on this side of the planet. Well… Conor doesn’t find that cool now, but I do and want to talk about it. So if you’re not much into the birds and flowers then you can skip this one.
So… there’s this mad looking moss on the trees that looks like an old man’s beard. It’s white and long and hanging down the branches everywhere. Like this…
Also there is this black one that looks like a disease (no picture).
Another thing that I didn’t get my head around was a fern tree (s6najala puu for Estonians). Ferns are not meant to be trees… They look like something surviving here from dinosaurs’ era. (We actually saw them in Jamaica too.)

These birds are called keas. They are really alpine parrots and they don’t seem to mind the snow much at all. Keas are very funny… they walk like they are drunk, they’re curious and smart and love to eat rubber (so maybe not that smart after all). I had a bit of trouble of taking pictures of them. No, not because they won’t stay still or fly away. But because he wanted to check out my camera and got too close for focus :P
These blue ones have oddly big feet and that’s why they walk funny too. Especially the chicks!
