This morning we drove back out to Pilot's Beach at the end of the peninsula where we watched the fairy penquins come ashore on our first night here.
We were taking the Unique Taiaroa tour; first stop the Royal Albatross Centre, where we had lots of time to look around. We could see four albatrosses from the observatory. The peninsula is also home to a colony of shags and to seagulls.
Next stop was Taiaroa Fort. We were the only people on this part of the tour so we had the guide all to ourselves. I saw a retracting cannon.
Back at the motel we planned the rest of our itinerary for the South Island. Tomorrow we are heading right to its bottom: Invercargill.
We saw this dragon boat in the harbour opposite our motel.
