Sunday 25th November

After breakfast we headed to Picton to get our boat heading out into Queen Charlotte Sound. There were lots of opportunities to take photos of Lucinda in front of stuff. Firstly where we were put ashore at Ship Cove in front of the monument to Captain James Cook commemorating his landing here in 1770. Later it was in front of a Weka, a flightless bird, which lingered looking longingly at the rhubarb cake we had on our walk. We walked 14km from Ship Cove to Furneaux Lodge in 4 hours. The boat picked us up and on the trip back we saw some distant dolphins and supine fur seals. Most of the restaurants in Blenheim were closed so we had a rubbish Chinese before going back to watch New Zealand Has Talent. Sadly there were no dogs left in the competition.
