Finished off the day in Russell; which boasts a lot of things that claim to be old. We both enjoyed a wine at the Duke of Marlborough Pub; the oldest pub in New Zealand. You can see the first liquor licence ever issued by the New Zealand Government hanging near the bar. Next we visited the oldest fishing club in New Zealand and enjoyed fresh seafood for dinner. Both of these 'oldest' make sense if you consider the fact that Russell was traditionally a port and the largest town in the South Pacific whaling region of the 1900s.
To finish the evening off, we watched the sun set over the bay. Beautiful.
