Day 9, Wednesday 31st March 2010


Well our adventure is nearly at an end unfortunately. Tomorrow is the last official leg of the safari travelling from Invercargill to Queenstown via Mandaville and hopefully Stewart Island.
Today we left Timaru and headed to Oamaru for lunch via the famous Moeraki Bolders. I was expecting the Cat to go direct to Invercargill however to my surprise we arrived at Oamaru in time for a picnic lunch with the rest of the safari crew. With the weather forecast looking a bit ominous we rapidly departed for Invercargill. An hour and forty minutes later we arrive overhead and wonder where all the bad weather has got to! A beautiful smooth flight along some spectacular terrain saw many a photo taken today.
Another fabulous dinner was held. This time at the Southern Wings hangar where we were thoroughly spoiled with an entree of Bluff Oysters and Crayfish, and a main course of Salmon. Another dessert later which I just had to try and I am really beginning to feel the results of nearly ten days of some glorious food and hospitality. Might need to go back to that diet soon!
