What a big name for a cute little fish!
Our California friend Mrs Yollis sent us this postcard when she was on holiday in Hawaii.

This big, long name reminded me that there is a hill in New Zealand that has one of the longest place names in the world.
The name is
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapiki-maungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

Dear B4,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you received my postcard from Hawaii! That fish is the state fish of Hawaii and was easy to find while out snorkeling.
I'm working on one more post from Hawaii, and it is a video about the fish I saw. I'll let you know when it is done and you can see the
Humu•humu•nuku•nuku•a•pu•a'a swimming!(I broke up the name into chunks so it is easy to say.)
That New Zealand hill has quite a name! What do people call it for short?
Your pal,
Mrs. Y♥llis
