Our shoreline in Christchurch was a converted jailhouse, which brought a bit of fun to the otherwise downbeat afternoon in the city. Needless to say that we were not going to refuse a dress up opportunity so at 7am in the morning we donned the appropriate prisoner attire ahead of our departure to Kaikoura.
Kaikoura is a small beachside town on The south islands North East coast. Driving in we stopped a healthy handful of times to coo at the seal pups that were swimming in the paddling pools amongst the rocks. So so cute, I wanted to eat them. As cute as they are, though, when we stopped to get up close to some adult seals, one particular seal told Mike to shove off. He's all "You're a lovely seal, aren't you gorgeous" only to be met with an abrupt roar as Mike got too close...
Plenty of activities to do in Kaikoura, from whale watching to stunt plane driving but I'm waiting for tomorrow morning...So with my empty afternoon, I'd like to say I filled it with an energetic hike around the peninsula but suddenly laziness succumbed me and I instead went for a spot of window shopping before setting myself down with a nice cuppa tea.
In the evening we headed out for dinner together in the town before making an emergency hot chocolate stop. Clearly not enough sugar though, so we proceeded to scout out some tim tams then gorged on them and milo while watching strange animal videos on YouTube. Perfect evening no?
