Why don't elephants like penguins?

Just had nearly 7 hours out on the Otago Peninsula on an Elm wildlife minibus tour with our guide Warren and half a dozen others which was just amazing!

Saw yellow eyed penguins, blue penguins, royal albatrosses, sea lions, fur seal pups and loads of birds. All close up and all in natural habitat. Had to hike a fair bit up and down to sea coves but it was just exhilarating.

No pics sadly as didn't take the iPad but plenty on my camera to bore you with at home.

A: "Because they can't get the silver paper off" (got it right for the first time)!

The runaway train

Our dramatic trip on the Taiera Gorge Railway from Dunedin. Originally hacked through the rocks for the gold miners.

Some of the following shots courtesy of Mike hanging precariously with the iPad out of the open carriage window or off the footplate












And of course Mike had to spot this station we stopped at en route


And on a more sober note, the magnificent Dunedin station
