We were having our boat ride on SS EARNSLAW steam toot toot

Plenty of seating

Now......I was supposed to be riding a electric bike with Paul but after my test run decided forget it 😆😆

So I hung out with the farm animals instead 😃😃

Me and the crazy black sheep 😂😂

Being on the South Island reminds me of Highland Scotland
