Fish and Chips in Kaikoura

After pulling into Kaikoura for the night, we found some fish and chips and promptly nomed them.  Yum.

The scenery is just AMAZING in this part of the world.

The next morning we drove out of town just a little ways to see some seals.  Again, amazing scenery.

 

There’s a seal!

Kristen on the rocks.

Do not disturb seals!

There was a snorkeler (center of the picture, look for the snorkel) hunting for something in the rocks.

A seal came over to hang out with our campervan.

Oh man mountains and seals!

Not too bad.

 

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.
