To give you an impression, I have made collages - to see them larger, click on them ( preferably ask for them to open in a new tab or window.)
We had a fun evening...pre-dinner drinkies
Dinner.... games, singing, spa and a toga party.... and a beautiful dawn to wake up the revellers....
The next day obliged us with good weather... the sun shone, the water was clear, and the dolphins were amazing, but the seas were running at a moderate swell... and a fair number were seasick. I had a sore throat and headache all last week, so for the first time in 10 trips, I did not book myself to go on the boat...was strange to see them leave without me, but two other staff and three students also did not go, so we hit the shops...
The pictures they have brought back were great; dolphins in their hundreds and they got some great close ups, including their buckets.....
Hoping everyone else had a great time... it is the largest group of us that has gone to date, and I have to say a big thank you for their patience and support to Dusky Lodge Backpackers, Why Not Cafe, Aromas, great shops, Ritchies Bus Services, and Dolphin Encounter which are all important parts of making it all go smoothly.
We were all tired at the end....
Thanks to the great staff and students
and to Kaikoura for the beautiful scenery - do add it to your plans when you visit New Zealand :)
