Hi An early start today for a whale watch lasting about 2 1/2 hours with Capt Jim. We saw 2 whales or the same whale twice, a lot of dusky dolphins and an albatross. It was very good. Later Margaret spotted a Segway for hire so I had 10 great minutes on it. As the guy said once tried you will want one. Margaret also had a free go. Kaikora is a lovely spot with large bays backed by mountains. The bays are full of seals. The weather is lovely - they have 2,000 hours of sun a year. Tomorrow we are going to Hanmer Springs for a soak in the thermal springs and then it's off to Christchurch for the night before flying to Auckland on Good Friday. Happy Easter!
