Catching Sea Perch (we also caught some blue cod, red cod, and tarakihi)
We got to keep 5 crayfish caught in metal cages (pots). They are similar to lobster except no front claws)- they were delicious

3 hour evening rogaining event in the Port Hills by Christchurch
Chris, Igor, and our mom arrived on December 14th. For the week before Christmas we did a tour of the northern part of the south island. We went to some beautiful spots, and even though we couldn't do our 3 day kayaking trip that we had planned (due to strong winds), we still did a day of kayaking (golfing for Brad), and a bit of shopping, a half day wine tour where we visited 5 vineyards, a dolphin cruise (that was supposed to involve swimming with the dolphins, but it was too windy), and an excellent day of ocean fishing.

I am soooo jealous!!!!!! It looks beautiful there and like the weather is cooperating (- the strong winds). So glad that your mom, sis and Igor are visiting with you over the holidays. I wish i could be there too :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if you could come down sometime Laura!! I'd have to say the weather has been off and on for our travels- we've had some really nice days and some excessively rainy and windy ones, but that basically sums up New Zealand weather!
