my valentines' day gift

was a scenic tour at Akaroa harbor.

It included lots of sailboats...

some krill (that stuff that whales eat)...

seeing Hector's dolphins, the smallest in the world and only found in NZ waters...

lots of seals....

little blue penguins (the smallest in the world)...

and more beautiful scenery than I can describe!

Thanks, Hubby, you're the best!
