South to Kaikoura

 

After tasting some great wine and beer, we headed down the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand to Kaikoura.  The drive was absolutely stunning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is straight out of Lord of the Rings!

 

 

 

Remember kids, stay out of electrical boxes!

 

 

We finally got into Kaikoura as the sun was getting ready to set.  Our next mission was to find some fish and chips.

 

Marlborough Region Wine and Beer

After getting off the Picton Ferry, we headed to the Marlborough Region for some wine and beer tasting.  Delicious!

Yes, grapes grow here.

Laid low by a taste.

Oh yes, the beer and wine are both quite good in New Zealand.

Mmmm wine.

 

 

Picton Ferry Crossing

 

As Kristen and I were waiting to take the Picton Ferry to the South Island, the New Zealand Army rolled up.  They were on the ferry with us, too.

 Be all that you can be!  New Zealand Army!

 

Aboard the ferry.

 

In case of emergency.

 

Sailing to the South Island.

 

 

 

Yay ferries!
