South island tour

I have now started my south islands tour. I am already on my second city and leaving to my third one. My tour is following: Queenstown for 2 nights, Dunedin for 2 nights, Oamaru for 1 night, Christchurch for 2 nights, Nelson for 2 nights and Motueka/Abel tasman for 3 nights. After that I will take the ey to north island where I spend 1 night in Wellington and 2 nights in New Plymouth before going back to Hamilton. 

My plan for Queenstown was to do white water rafting but that did not happen as it was raining and the water level in the river was too high. It was really annoying as that was the only reason why I went back to Queenstown. I had been looked forward to do it for so long. Now I need to find a new place where to do it. I think it is going to be in the north island, tongariro river. 

My plan for dunedin was simple, sightseeing and visit cadbury chocolate factory. In Oamaru I am going to see the penguins, the yellow eyed ones and the blue penguins, hopefully. In Christchurch I am going to was Super Rugby, as the season starts this weekend. Then hopefully I will have chance to see some sights as it was raining last time when I was there. 

I have spent a day in Oamaru and I saw the penguins :) I saw the blue ones very close and the yellow eyed ones quite far away.  I went to tour to see them and I got private tour as I was the only one in that bus. I need to put pics to computer so I can see if I can see any penguins on the photos. In Oamaru there is lots of old historic building.
