The Journey - New Zealand
Kaikoura
Kaikoura is a town on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The town is famous for it's marine life, you will be sure to spot dolphins and whales whilst taking a boat tour or flight. We decided to take a whale watching flight and it was fantastic, we spotted 3 whales and a school of dolphins. In the Spring time just outside of the town center you can find a huge seal colony splashing and playing around in the streams. We were lucky enough to go there at that time of year, It is a magnificent sight to be seen.
Watching the sun set behind the mountains whilst on a short bike ride along the beach front was pretty cool
We even managed to make it out to the beach to catch the sunrise the next morning
Why not have a picture of the two of us with our bike :)
We woke up in the morning to find this poor little guy frozen to death and stuck to our car
Just a few of the many seals congregating in the stream
It was hard to get a clear picture with a phone but there is a lot of seals playing around in there
Not a bad view from the town
I'm not too convinced the pilot got a good shot of us two but he didn't do too bad a job of flying :)
Loving the high life :)
Looking out from high above
Not for the faint hearted. The pliot didn't hesitate to swoop on down to get a closer look at the whales
Ready for touch down
