Scored an upgrade to exit row seats because at check in recognised Ian Bishop as same name as West Indies cricketer in the 80's! Arrived at 3.00 and it's raining. Wondered around the shops and decided where to have dinner.
Early start at 7.15 to travel to Greymouth by the Tranzalpine Train. P icked up our car in Greymouth and headed to Franz Joseph with a detour of about an hour to Hokitika Gorge. Arrived at about 5.30 pm.
Today was a bit overcast then rained in the afternoon. First stop was Larnach Castle where we did a tour of the castle which was fantastic as Rodger the guide was so informative. Then it was Devonshire tea in the cafe and a walk around the gardens. We then continued out on the Otago Peninsula as far as we could go.
