Update: Christchurch 2
Christmas and new year over with I’m heading around the south island, I leave tomorrow.
In the last week or 2 I have seen many interesting people, some of whom were relatives of mine, I won’t go into any more depth here to preserve privacy other than to say that I hope I meet many of them again.
Myself and the folks I’m staying with here (also related to me) went on a dolphine watching cruse, I have phtographic evedence, but not handy. we saw a mother and pup (if that’s the correct term) so close that they filled the frame of one photo (100mm) it’s slightly blurry, but it’s usable.
Went up Arthur’s Pass — a road over to the west coast, with some really interesting scenery. We went for a walk to see a glacier, we didn’t find it in the end, but we had still a really nice walk and saw scenery miles from anywhere.
Had a picnic and swim at a beach with some of the above mentioned people.
Went to a Mouri … show? … dificult to explain, but it involved 60ish actors, 25 acres of land, a tram and lots of acting. The were telling the story of the inFLUEnce of the europiens on thier culture, with details of musket powered civil wars killing thoustands of people, desise, stealing of land and the such. All very grim, but the food afterward was fantastic. It’s the same outfit that did the show in Roturua that I saw.
Anyway — must pack…
