Day 3 and the fun keeps coming! Antartic Centre this morning was cool in several senses but the crowds were too much. Princess liked the roving actors in penguin, husky and seal costumes as much as the gorgeous real penguins.

Finally got a hire car. A red one. Checked out New Brighton. Yawn. Except for a fellow doing his 1003rd sand drawing below the pier which was interesting.

Want to ride horses in the high country? Rubicon Valley Horse Treks is the best. We had a brilliant sunset ride which went for 2 1/2 hours in beautiful country. Princess' mount was called Monty, which was funny since that was the name of her last teacher! I had Billy, who surrendered after a while, and ambled along for me while Monty gave a good gallop.

Last night in the Jailhouse. Marshmallows and banana with a cup of tea.Princess Tahlia already in bed with a book. The second reading of Twilight. How often do you need to read it before you become a Twihard?
