Aimee left today-what a bummer. 'Sunny' was not happy with the silence inside the vehicle.
Air Pacific is not the way to go. I spent another day inside trying to get home/Wyoming in April. The airline wants to charge me more money for a mistake they made-go figure.
I was supposed to be in Kaikoura so that I could watch whales tomorrow morning but I didn't want to pass up staying here. It is the Blue-Lipped Mussel capital of the world. Ok, that isn't why I stayed here. Ernest Rutherford-element 104 on the periodic table,credited with splitting the atom, and naming and discovering the proton...The father of Nuclear Physics...went to school in the building I am in right now. I am not sleeping in it-I'm out back in the yard in a tent, but pretty cool all the same. He was only here 2 years- 4th and 5th grade. My kids/students ages-maybe one day one of them will make a new discovery!
I may stay here and ride the Polorus Mail Boat-sounds really interesting-pigs, mussel farms, sandy beaches, chance to see marine mammals-right up my alley. If not, I'll get to the whales and then on to Christchurch to see the International Flower Festival and go to the opening concert Friday night.
Wait and see...
