I spent the day with Brylie's class today on a field trip. We went on a charter boat and saw seals and even caught a fish! Chatty, our charter captain, drags lines behind the boat. Several fish were caught but only one made it into the boat. I think it's a sea salmon. We also learned about an early NZ trader named Dicky Barrett who came from Great Britain and married a Maori woman. He was killed whaling at age 40 in 1847. We visited the site where he and his family are buried.
Tomorrow I will go with the class for a tour of New Plymouth which includes the Puke Ariki Museum and the Aquatic Center. Then Friday, I'll join Will's class to South Taranaki. More photos to come...
