Milford Sound and Queenston
Saturday, December 8th, 2007Since the last post we have done alot! We drove down to Christchurch to meet Andrea, my friend from work in Halifax, and her boyfriend Paul who flew in a few days earlier from Northwest Territories. Along the way we stopped in Kaikoura where we saw hundreds of seals lounging on the rocks at the side of the coastal highway which was really neat. We then spent one night in Christchurch before heading out the next morning with Andrea and Paul, us in our van and them in their campervan, to tour the South Island. We drove down to Oamaru to try to see some blue penguins and yellow-eyed penguins to no avail. They apparently don’t come to shore until the evening so we didn’t stick around, plus it cost about $30 to see them. So we then went on to Dunedin. Eero and I went to the grocery store and Eero got recruited for a scavenger hunt in the store. He had to find a number of female toiletry items and then he won some new socks, which he needed, a ballcap and a Speight’s Beer jumpsuit. We have photos which we will be posting of him in his suit. He then ripped it later that evening at the campground when he caught a duck. [read on]
