      ​@@SailorJamesI thought New Zealand was named "Aotea" because of the canoes?

    • @SailorJames
      @SailorJames  Рік тому +1

      No, Aotearoa means “Land of the long white cloud” but this name and mythology appears to have come about after first contact. Before that the Māori people never referred to the islands as one country but as their separate names Te Ika-a-Māui and Te Waipounamu

    I believe the reverse tree has put its keel down and has sent it sales up as it’s gotten closer to the ocean! The roots growing vertical for fresh air and water :-)

    Am enjoying this season in New Zealand. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I've never seen the donkey with a cross although I have heard of them. and then to place feet on the bird sanctuary is also a wonderful legacy that the Salvation Army has given us. Thnx James.
