South Island Day 3: Whale Watching

Yomping. I know its the lesser of two evils but its still horrible. Nat set off at a pace I struggled to keep up with before she announced that that was her normal pace and the power walking would start any minute now. I'm so doomed. But on a brighter note the whale watching was on today...

South Island Day 2: Seal Bothering In The Rain

Yesterday was a wicked start to the holiday but today was rained off a bit. We drove up to Kaikoura to go whale watching but the ocean swell and the weather in general meant it was cancelled, probably a good thing given my inability to keep the contents of my stomach in place on rough seas.

Day 12: Seddon to Kaikoura

"Oh my god!!" I gasp, involuntarily, as I catch sight of my naked torso in the mirror in the morning. There are lumps all down the side of my chest. I was stung on the chest yesterday by a wasp-like insect that flew down the front of my cycling shirt. Could it really have had this effect?...

Whale done, you can fly a plane!

Still a bit hungover from the week(s) drinking in Queenstown (my liver may never recover), Martin and I head off to Kaikoura via a quick stop at Lake Tekapo & Christchurch. Now, i am already ashamed to admit that i wasn't even that bothered on coming to Kaikoura... But this has turned out the...
