    Finished up in Christchurch by watching a game of chess by the World's Biggest Ice Cream Cone. Views[374] A sea of dolphins. Views[382] Can you believe they actually try to take pictures of these things to help try to identify individuals and track them? Views[292] I mean...really a LOT of dolphins. Views[309] Lots and lots of dolphins... Views[360]
     
    Dolphins love the bow wave of the boat. Views[348] Dusky Dolphins...like 700 of them in one huge pod. Took these photos after snorkeling with the dolphins. Unfortunately the water was to cloudy for good underwater shots. Views[219] Fur seal colony just north of Kaikoura Views[227] Queen Charlotte Sound on the north side of the island. Views[245] Now...where did I park that damn tractor??? Views[232]
     
    When the tide goes out they boats can't get to the dock...so the boat trailers come out to them. Views[248] Lots of fur seal cubs. Views[193] ...like, Fur seals cubs are very inquisitive. Views[224]
     
    Kayaking the ocean at Abel Tasman. Views[277] Abel Tasman Park has very few roads so there is an Aqua Taxi. Views[193] The real estate signs out here say More rivers Views[169]
     
    They call this area Everything grows here... Views[203] Well...you don't see that everywhere. I also saw seal crossing and Pokeko crossing signs but didn't get pictures. Views[381] Moon rise at sunset. Views[208] Sunset in Greymouth seen from the jetty on the Tasman Sea. Views[208]
     
    There's that damn bike again. Views[240] This was called the It's hard to see but I'm sitting in an inner-tube. We floated out to a subteranean lake and shut our Well, I needed a bath anyway. Views[205]
     
    What to you mean Funky care formations Views[233] Guide had us go through small side tunnels on our own. Here, I'm about to plunge in. All I can hear is Chinese, which is disconcerting because I can't tell if it is Balance...balance... Views[226] Follow the leader. Views[195]
     
    Guide had us all step in this hole as proof that they can be deeper than they look. Views[161] Last group shot before plunging in. Views[164] Does anybody else hear heavy breathing coming from in there? Views[179] Everything seems to be a 30 minute hike through the rain forest. Views[170] Me, Bob, Harry and Sam (three Chinese students studying in Christchurch) all suited up for black-water rafting in a cave. I could be wrong, but I don't think those were their real names. Views[238]
     
    OK, I got used to the one-lane bridges. But isn't that a train track running over this one?? Hmmm, riding a motorcycle parallel to a train track less than 18 inches away...that sounds smart. Views[280] Tasman Sea south of Greymouth. Views[215] This was a relatively common type of view from the road. Views[222] I hope you guys can magnify this enough to read the poem. Remember, it rains 200 days a year on average on the west side of the south island. Views[202] When the sun starts to go down it's a good time to get back off the glacier. Time for a beer!! Views[223]
     
    ...you pop right out the bottom end. Views[215] Yeah, sure. Just hold onto the rope and slide on your bumm. Views[483] I wonder which scene from LOTR's they filmed here?? Views[222] Yep...definately worth quiting you job! Views[209]
