DAY 225 MONDAY NOVEMBER 5 WATERFRONT

Our last day in N.Z. so we walked along the waterfront looking at the big yachts.  First we came to a statue of an albatross on a training frame designed to get him used to flying after being injured.
This huge boat was registered in George Town.

Another one was called the Arctic.
We saw a restaurant which was cladded outside with lengths of pallet timber. One for Evelyn. This seat used a whole tree to make.
On the way back we saw how they use old shipping containers.  This one housed a public Video Screen.
And these featured the lovely M.M.
She was advertising paint and was made of test pots.
She was next to a waterfall that had a disappearing flame on top.
We spent the rest of the day shopping for souvenirs and catching up on the blog.  A lovely soprano was singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow in Queen St and we recorded her for our Video Musicians collection.

 We have contacted the agent who told us the Bahia docks at 7am tomorrow so we can board any time until 1pm.  This may be the last blog post before we get to Killcare, hopefully on Friday.
