Last night found us in another out of the way bay on a farm in Akaroa, this time in a rustic Bach with a loo 50 yards up the track! We did a 24 hour tour with a bit of kayaking (about an hour which is just long enough for me! - saw lots of seals and a "nursery" of 2 month olds), a search for penguins, even though really it was not quite the right time, and a soaking wet walk through "bush" down towards Flea Bay. We found 1 "little penguin" who was late moulting, he should have been feeding back at sea, who was very cute.
A couple of days ago we had a very enjoyable visit to Kaikora. Wild waves here and a great walk around the peninsula. The seas around this area are great for developing bright colours in the paua (abalone) shells they harvest. Some lovely jewellery shops! We were lucky to manage a dolphin trip here to see dusky dolphins. Lucky because the weather was not great and the seas pretty high. The dolphins were very acrobatic so it was great fun.

Mosiac in the middle is a bit strange looking. Am also a bit worried by your use of cos. Our future politicians, doctors and business leaders are left in your capable hands yet your use of the English language leaves alot to be desired. Anyway, all looks lovely and most of us are still extremely jealous.
