Monday attended Maori performance in the meeting house at Waitangi. after a very realistic welcoming ritual we were treated to song, dance and narrative with lights and sound effects taking us through the history of the Maori people in NZ. It was excellent, very powerful performances.
Tuesday had second dolphin watch another 4 hours cruizing around the islands saw many more new ones all spectacularly beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed but guess what no dolphins. another free trip tomorrow.
Wednesday raining and windy dolphip trip cancelled too rough. Did woodland/coastal walk to Opua instead. pretty creeks and bays, very old woodland. Opua has car ferry to Russell, wharves, marina, boatyards and a restaurant on stilts with a glass covered hole in floor to watch the sea underneath. Fish and chips excellent.
Thursday 3rd and last attempt to see dolphins. another 4 hours another free hot chocolate but no dolphins. what a shame its just luck I hope they all get run over by the ferry. Going south tomorrow.John Cornhill
