Last Day in NZ

It is november 26 at about 7 am

This is our last day we can go ashore in NZ.  All I can say is wow.  If you have ever been to Big Sur and thought it was beautiful, you would LOVE New Zealand.  It is all rolling hills, wild ocean shores and forests of some of the largest tree ferns, pines, etc. i have ever imagined.  Every turn brings up another amazing vista.

Yesterday we saw some Hector's dolphins in the bay of Akaroa.  They are small and extremely rare.  We also saw the world's smallest penguin.  It was a relative of the blue penguin.  Cute. We were supposed to swim with the dolphins, but they didn't want to play.  Oh, well.

Today we are in Dunedin.  Pronounced something like done-doo-een.  Odd. We don't have a shore excursion today, so we will probably just wander around.  Hopefully Rob will find another internet cafe to post some pics.

Bye for now!
