Day 6 to Dunedin.

 Off we head again south towards Dunedin stopping a couple of times to check out some sights.






First stop was to see a lighthouse at Katiki Pt - Another unmanned one. A short walk along the hill and down is where you can see fur seals and bird colonies. Also suppose to be penguins there but not at our time of day needs to be near dark.










Off again down the road to Shag Pt to see some more fur seals. Only a few there this time.





On to Dunedin where we stopped in town to visit the info centre and Elizabeth had to go to another quit store. She was looking for NZ prints to make stuff with again :)





That's about it for today

A magical day at Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

Today was our planned helicopter ride to see the glacier and have a snow landing.    We were a tad worried as the weather report the night before was not all that encouraging.    We had a bit of a slow start and checked in at the flight desk at 10am as requested.     The advice was, the flight would go ahead - however with the changing weather conditions the snow landing would be determined on a minute by minute basis.    If the landing was scrapped we would have additional flight time added to keep our trip to the same length.    Honestly we were just happy to be able to take off. Safety briefing done, the loading crew led us to the helipads.    They were pretty cool.    Looked a little like landing pads for space craft.    The pads are made from the rocks that make up a large part of the landscape of the area.     We were given our assigned seats and Thomas (our pilot) got us sorted and...

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre.  We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :).   Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR.  The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...
