For the morning of this most auspicious of days we did the Shotover Jet.
This is a jet boat that goes up and down a canyon on the Shotover river. It is quite quick and appears to get very close to the canyon walls. It is also quite a wet activity - it's amazing the way the water manages to find the route straight down ones neck.
No pictures (as we were both hanging on for dear life), so here's the link to their web site which has a short video that shows the general idea of things (minus the getting wet part) - http://www.shotoverjet.com/.
After lunch we played indoor mini golf. It was something quite different and - between extensive swearing - fun (although I let him win as it was his Birthday).
Dinner was at a little restaurant that had been recommended to Sarah. Vintage champagne and choice of gourmet pizza.
