Anna, Chris, Jen and Auntie Sandra
Well, we made it. We had a non-eventful flight and met Chris's Auntie Sandra at the airport. Sandra and her daughter Anna took us to tea - which is coffee and pastries.
We drove from Christchurch to Barry's Bay and checked in at Halfmoon Cottage. It is a backpackers hostel and super cute however, there are no keys for the doors. Your room is just unlocked all the time which doesn't matter since the windows are at group level and there are no screens. We still like it.
We drove in Akaroa and got tickets for a Scenic Cruise of the Bay which offered dolphin viewing. It was so awesome.We saw Hector's Dolphins! They played with the boat and tried to race us.We also saw New Zealand Fur Seals which are the Fat Boogas of the Sea. The first one we saw cleaned his nose, scratched his butt and then put his fat belly up in the air - those are the 3 requirements to being a fat Boogas.We also saw Blue Penguins which are the smallest penguin in the world and sometimes called Fairy Penguins.
I hope to blog again soon. Sorry this is so short, we only had $2 coin for the computer slot.
