I skipped the morning tour of the city. I was starting to need some empty space and was getting tired of being herded. Instead I took a long walk by myself. Found a little park and sat on a bench in the sunlight. That felt so good. Across the street their was a group doing Tai Chi outside. They were so graceful in their movements.
Came back to our room and took a short nap. I feel human and like I can people again. Nicole came back from the city tour and we went out to find lunch. Ate at a little diner nearby. The food was excellent.
Next up is a peninsula tour to see sea lions and penguins. We will also see a castle and then take a one hour wildlife cruise.
The sun was out this morning but is hiding behind some clouds now. No rain today! Low 50’s for the high.
Tomorrow we leave at 7:00 for a long bus ride to Christchurch and then a three hour plus flight to Sydney. We have a two hour time difference to deal with. May be a long day as we don’t get dinner until 7:30 which is 9:30 New Zealand time.
