My brush with fame...

Well, not really. But I swear, the skipper on the cruise in Akaroa looked like Neil Finn. As many of you know, I am a huge Crowded House/Neil Finn fan and I could have sworn that he was Neil's long lost other brother. Alas, I googled and found no such brother. Ah well. He invited Miss M and I up into the cabin for the end of the cruise and we had a grand time.

And here is a little video of the Hector's dolphins, the world's smallest species of dolphin only found in New Zealand.
