Well, the Dolphins didn't want to play. We got up early and missed our showers, Tom had hummed the theme tune from Jaws over and over but we still went along. However, the Dolphins decided it was too rough so the trip was cancelled. Thankfully we managed to get back to the hotel before the room had been cleaned and the very kind woman let us back in to use the shower. We went back to town and had breakfast.
After that we headed south towards Christchurch, the rain came on and it was pretty miserable but it cleared when we got to Christchurch. We have booked in to the Camelot hotel, a motel style building which is kitted out like the knights of the round table, it is so tacky it is actally quite good. The owner is a really nice guy and very helpfull.
Had a wander round Christchurch and managed to find a Chinese Dragon and some Brazillian Dancers, all what you'd expect in NZ. We also found a statue of Captain Scott soi we paid homage to him - the plaque didnt mention Discovery or Dundee so we were disappointed.
We've bought tickets to some antarctic exhibtion for tomorrow and plan to dine up the mountain that overlooks the town tomorrow night.
