| The Octopus before it bit him. |
Well Jakob did and it was NOT a good look. We were in Dunedin for the long weekend and canoeing at
Purakaunui Inlet. A man was floundering and his Mum knew Ruth. So when they found a baby octopus they brought it down for us to see. It crawled over everyone's hands and then when Jakob got it, it was obviously too much, it bit him!! It was a little baby, half the size of Jakob's hand but you could not get it off and Jakob was screaming. So I rushed him to the seawater and he put his hand in and the Octopus swam away. It made a huge puncture mark and then the finger it had attached to started swelling, and swelling and looking red. So soaking a hand in seawater and using the cold milk bottle as ice and pressure, the pain took about 45mins to stop and the swelling about 1.5 hours. Far out.....do not let an octopus bite you!!
Apart from that we climbed up
Signal Hill, using a very graduated track so I could do it.

We spent a couple of hours hydrosliding at
Moana Pool. Watched a movie, ate good food and had a busy time. Visited a Fete at the
Lady Thorn Rhododendron Dell. Where the boys got free face painting.

On the way home we stopped at
Riverstone Kitchen and had a lunch/dinner at 2.30pm. Oh it was sooo good. We were so busy eating that we forgot to take food photos. But enjoyed wandering the grounds and the kids loved the huge adventure playground.
