Rain! This is not what we came to New Zealand for! We can have that for free at home! So we went shopping and to the art gallery and museum. The museum had an exhibition about the earthquake, which was both fascinating and moving in equal measure.
The other place we went – good rainy day thing to do – was the Aquarium, where we saw penguins being fed, fish being fed by a diver (I had to go away and sit down and practise breathing normally after I’d watched that for a while. You know like you have to on James Bond films when he’s underwater with a shark nearby?) and lots of other fish, turtles (including one that was practically Discworld-sized, swimming around underwater) and kiwi, in a special nocturnal house. Which is as close as we’re going to get to a kiwi while we’re here. But it’s okay, Fiona, I won’t count it as really seeing a kiwi!
