Kaikoura

My last stop on my Kiwi Experience bus tour is the small beach town of Kaikoura. In Maori Kaikoura translates to ''meal of crayfish'. I did indulge in a tasty little bugger during my visit:) The area is also know for their species of blue penguins and fur seals. I have a nice picture of one here that came out of the water to show off. I rented a bike and went around the large penninsula. I had to keep reminding myself I was not on an island as the trail went on and on. The most disappointing thing that happend during my stay was swimming with the dolphins early one morning. The pacific ocean was angry that day my friends, and I reafirmed my sea sickness on boats.......(no photos for that!) Regardless, this is a place I would go back to!
