Hey all, this morning we did some horse trekking at Hanmer Horses in Hanmer Springs. Going into the horse farm we had to cross two streams (fords) with the car, this is why you never buy a rental car, It has been raining here for a few days and it was a wee bit exciting crossing. The weather was sunny and crisp, the ride was nice thru the country with great mountain views, nice pics. From there we headed for Kaikoura, where Emily spent a week during her semester and swam with the dolphins. We are staying at a bed and breakfast on a point along the peninsula in Kiakoura. The family used own the entire peninsula and have thousands of sheep, today they have 100 acres, 300 sheep just enough to do shearing demonstrations twice a day. We attended one of the shearing demo’s, it was interesting and we learned a bit about sheep, Uncle Earle would be proud of us. We are on stand by for a whale watch tour tomorrow AM, if that does not work, we will just do some walks around here and walk out to the seal colony on the end of the point.
Nice picture. 45 mile an hour winds today here in Williston.
