A fabulous day yesterday doing 2 shore excursions. A visit first to Omaka aviation museum, featuring Sir Peter Jacksons collection of WW1 planes, 4 of which are original. I then managed to get off the tour and go round the Omaka Classic Car collection. This was followed by a visit to a winery, and walk on a beach. In the afternoon we toured Queen Charlotte Sound with a very knowledgable skipper. After a pleasant evening meal with Joanne and Peter from Toronto we had hoped to watch a show, which was cancelled due to the lively boat action. Going down to main saloon was a mistake as the dancers snagged you walking thru the door. However you just stood still on the floor and the ships rolling gave you some good moves !

Today is not so bright, and some drizzle…..waiting for the tender to Akaroa allows me to write the blog. Cheers M & H
