And the circus came to town

[vibrantabyss]

We have decided to stay and explore around here rather than traveling on to Te Anau. Over the next two day we will have whitewater rafting, horseback riding, and several hikes, as well as evening activities. Tonight we went to see a traveling circus that has set up in town, Zirka Circus - a mostly Chinese troop of fairly accomplished acrobats. Certainly nothing as good as Cirque, but a nice evening, and several acts I will write more about when I have time - running on paid net now and only 7 min before I need to buy another day. The diabolo act was very nice, as were several others. More details on the circus when I manage to upload photos - likely after I return home... They had one toy that I thought was possible, but had never seen, so time to make me one and start playing with it.

Very much enjoyed the Gibbston Pinot Noir we had with dinner, best local wine I've had in the south.

Time to post it or lose it...
