hey,
for 26th May,
we can do whale-watching in the morning as suggested.

for 27th may,
we'll stay on Lady Karen. Both of us do not mind if we cater food. so cater if u two are alright with it.

for 28th may,
we can do the shark cage dive in the afternoon, after we have docked at the shore. cool right? but we have to make a booking for that at http://www,seasafaris.co.nz. and cos we only have 4 people, we have to ask if it's alright for us to do it since minimum of 6 is needed per dive.

as for 30th may,
we can do the quad-bike, as suggested, in the afternoon.

regarding milford sounds,
besides the redboat cruise, we found 2 other cruise companies: http://www.mitrepeak.com and http://www.fiordlandtravel.co.nz. the former is cheaper. it's $55-63 for a 2hour and 5 min cruise which an addition of $28 for the deep underwater oberservatory tours. we don't really know if we are doing a short cruise or a half day-full day one, so maybe you can go take a look and decide what's the best? anyway, what's the deep water tour about?any idea?

by the way, you can go ahead to book the glacier tour.

and we will definitely be staying at mt hutt to do something on the 15th june. so if you have to book acc, sylvia and i will stay till the 15th. can the 1 day snowboarding lesson be cancelled if we decide not to do it by then? cos we checked other options, and they are more expensive. we are uncertain if we have enough money left by then to do a $180 LOTR guided tour. so we are thinking, you help us book the 1 day snowboarding lesson, then we decide if we want to do it when we reach mt hutt.

let us know if we missed out on anything.
