Tranquility Base Posted January 18, 2017 #163 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We caught the local bus return when we were there also. How much was that return ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 18, 2017 #164 Share Posted January 18, 2017 How much was that return ? For Kiwis with their Gold Card its free:):) Only problem is that it does not run very often and takes you on a Cooks tour. Great for sightseeing and great if you have lots of time on your hands.

Rare MMDown Under Posted January 18, 2017 #165 Share Posted January 18, 2017 How much was that return ? Too long ago to remember, however inexpensive. But I know we researched local busses on internet prior to our arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobby_The_Ship_Elf Posted January 18, 2017 #166 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Looks like Alby is back.:D Did you know that according to some sauces that killing an Albatross is considered a bad thing (superstition) in Navy circles.

I just wonder how that flies (or dies) with ole mate ...... Guaranteed disapproval I imagine and we would all know nothing as we didn't study at the Charles Darwin university. Perhaps Cranberry sauce would be best served with Albatross:p Edited January 18, 2017 by MicCanberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shireboi Posted January 18, 2017 #169 Share Posted January 18, 2017 IT'S FRRRRRREEEEZZZZINGGGG here in Dunedin / Port Chalmers !!!!! Almost got blown away from the lookout over the port The charter buses are going crazy with two ships in today. Disappointing is the public bus timetable - you really really need to know the times - there was one gap of two hours between buses Cadbury 4 for $10 blocks -- Coconut you are mine !!
