We weren’t looking forward to our trip across Cook Strait as the weather forecast for the previous few days had been rather foreboding but when we woke up that morning the sea looked wonderfully serene, which we thought was because we were in the harbour and had quite a way to go before we hit the open seas. And watching all those HUGE heavy laden trucks go on before us didn’t really have a calming effect on me either!! </div>

A pretty little harbour and quite a nice small town, I was pleasantly surprised. After worrying all night about the trip it turned out to be absolutely fine, thank goodness the weather people were wrong again, can you tell I don’t like being on the water! In Wellington we picked up a friend of Louise’s and stayed the night before we drove straight from Wellington to Thames the next day, stopping at Taupo for a quick lunch as well as a few photo shots.</div>

The school closed in 1954 due to declining numbers attending. It's was then gifted as a community hall and remains in the same condition apart from the bell tower which is now missing and the teacher's house which used to stand next to the school/hall.<br>The smaller church is even older with a colourful history. It began life as a recreation hall next to a hotel and was used for local dances and social events. When the 'All Nations' hotel burned down it was purchased by Mr Enright, a devout local catholic, and converted into Cardrona Catholic Church. With the growing population of Wanaka it was moved in 1952 before being replaced in 1985. Residents of Cardrona repurchased the Church and transported it back to the present Cardrona site where it's once again used for local social events.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-qamSmcSRc_g/VSZlmdwTrBI/AAAAAAAALdI/FskTQRqpr6Q/s1600-h/haast3%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="haast3" style="border-top: 0px;

I’ve decided today that I’m going to put the blog on hold until I come home after the 12 April. Wifi is so unreliable at the moment and as I’m so far behind in posting each day’s photos I’m going to take a break and enjoy the rest of my holiday. I will of course still be updating our Scrabble Tournament every day (when I can).</div>
<div align="justify">
For those with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dawn.in.nz" target="_blank">Facebook</a> access I will still be checking in from time to time and posting a few photos each day. </div>

Unfortunately we didn’t realise that the sun wouldn’t be up over the mountains until we were on our way back so most of the photos I took were far too dark.

Next morning we took a cruise to Stewart Island, neither of us were very impressed, to start with the cost of the boat trip was over the top and it didn’t include a meal, we also took a guided mini-bus tour which I think turned out to be quite boring but for the overseas tourist was probably what they were after. All in all a big disappointment except for the lovely Stewart Island oysters I had for lunch. The day cleared up eventually but by this time we were bored out of our tree! However, I was impressed with how clear the water was there and there was a lovely little church on the top of the hill.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-x44LKAK3psk/VR4oRSYpVtI/AAAAAAAAK-8/YASI-Bu6Ydk/s1600-h/StewartIsland13.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island1" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-lR4xQ_APJFQ/VR4oSSzJwoI/AAAAAAAAK_E/7KGUDPHgwuo/StewartIsland1_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-FlLgYSBjcjU/VR4oTIY_chI/AAAAAAAAK_M/nLaZd-ap78A/s1600-h/StewartIsland23.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island2" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island2" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9jDZNOqsEYA/VR4oTxtJmpI/AAAAAAAAK_U/eg2RRh54fHw/StewartIsland2_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9tQjeTZrHSU/VR4oUkaOXkI/AAAAAAAAK_c/KtGF-STv920/s1600-h/StewartIsland33.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island3" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island3" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-StRco-JRti0/VR4oVr2czAI/AAAAAAAAK_k/koUa4RcQBvo/StewartIsland3_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-42jEXn24F08/VR4oWHuEPWI/AAAAAAAAK_s/a3vRGiv9Ycc/s1600-h/StewartIsland43.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island4" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island4" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-z3k3Z16KH2w/VR4oXHFVQnI/AAAAAAAAK_0/-L6m6fCD-Vg/StewartIsland4_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a> </p> <p align="justify">The Oman Presbyterian Church.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-DgdGm11BrPc/VR4oX7J2h1I/AAAAAAAAK_8/j-O44cUM3iw/s1600-h/StewartIsland53.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island5" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island5" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-a50f9nXw6TE/VR4oYr6IBFI/AAAAAAAALAE/ZFeUcuI0HjE/StewartIsland5_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a></p> <p align="justify">The South Sea Hotel where we had lunch.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nOWnoLUHjzQ/VR4oZYa12qI/AAAAAAAALAM/A6DEhDPuCwQ/s1600-h/StewartIsland133.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island13" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island13" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UJK7cC2_lKk/VR4oaef1qzI/AAAAAAAALAU/dTUXe-orBIs/StewartIsland13_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/---6nhANPQuo/VR4obLacawI/AAAAAAAALAc/O3lG3hILR3Y/s1600-h/StewartIsland63.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island6" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island6" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-igbR4od47Mo/VR4ocO6SakI/AAAAAAAALAk/vFFCxIFqSFQ/StewartIsland6_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SDkUDhDG7H4/VR4oc0L37zI/AAAAAAAALAs/dg6tcRLG_iQ/s1600-h/StewartIsland73.jpg"><img title="Stewart-Island7" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Stewart-Island7" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-wu33jlm43v4/VR4od0y6QfI/AAAAAAAALA0/BWQ2n1DNOQs/StewartIsland7_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="379"></a> </p> <p align="justify">The Queen!

After leaving Oamaru just after 9am we made our way to the Moeraki Boulders, unfortunately the tide was coming in so we didn’t see all of them, it was cold, misty, wet & did I say cold?</div>

Took a few photos before leaving for Shag Point to hopefully see the yellow-eyed Penguins and Seals. On the way there I saw a lovely old apple tree near this house? so Thelma did a bit of scrumping and then she also found a banana-passionfruit vine full of ripening fruit, one of her favourites that is now considered a pest and no-longer seen very much except in out of the way places like this. Turns out the apples were all wormy but the banana-passionfruit are delicious, not many left!</div>

The other fruit are Feijoas that were kindly given to use by the motel owner in Wanganui. When we arrived at Shag Point all we could find were a few seals including this one who looks like he was in the middle of his moult, would you believe the size of that seaweed he’s lying on?</div>

What looked to me like little growing trees although Louise thought they looked like birds, when I blew up the one & only photo I took there were our penguins, on the other side of the rocks where you couldn’t see them from the lookout (in the background)!!! PS It turns out they weren't penguins, they were shags, well it was called Shag Rock after all!</div>
