after 2 days of rough seas, on Tuesday the boats were able to run again, and we took off for the high seas. just out of Kaikoura there's a very deep ocean trench where the whales like to sit, just popping up now and then to breathe. We were very lucky to see two, called Taike and Little Nick - he has a little nick in his tail. When they surface its like looking at the tip of the iceberg, you can only see a bit of its back, but the spouting is fun! And of course the tail when it goes back underwater. We also saw performing wild dolphins, who did back flips and bounced along on their tails, and lots of albatrosses. it was great.

"your carriage awaits"
Carrie : Your Mum may remember that we used to go to Pakefield (near Lowestoft) with our parents and live in an old railway carriage for our holidays (when we were very little!) And we used to have to get water from a well by winding up a steel bucket on a chain!! (as I remember!!)
