Day 2 - mum and kids travel to peninsula

---

Today cam had to spend the day at the university so Ned and the kids decided to take a trip out to the otago peninsula to visit the aquarium run by the marine biologist from the uni. The trip was certainly interesting. The road was probably wide enough for 1 1/2 cars and went along a sheer cliff face for most of it with a bit of rope protecting you from going over. GREAT!!! Therefore my speed limit was about 30km so the kids got a good look at the scenery. Once there we had alovely time with the place all to ourselves. We went in a pretend submergeable saw a giant squid and played in the fantastic touch pools. After we had some morning tea we set off for Larnach Castle. The kids loved this place especially the gardens. After exploring we had some late lunch in the partridge bus and set back to pick up Cam. I did get some very strange looks when we were out. I think people thought it was just me and the kids on holiday. Consequently they were giving me discounts on the admission prices. Erks and perks of being a large fa
ily I suppose. BJ you were right about the airports . We were shipped off at customs ect to group areas to proceed through. Much faster! So now the kids have had their afternoon footy game. All are bathed and we are about to have dinner. Cam out at special dinner at uni. Moving on to Te Anau tomorrow for two nights alpaca and beef farmstay. Stay tuned for more! The partridge family.
