New Zealand - Day 1: Kaikoura

Our main destination of the day was Kaikoura, a peninsula. The nicest thing is that you have the snow covered mountains behind you while you hike beside the ocean. We took a 2 hour hike at the coast and then found a nice British lady who took us back to our car.

Yummy seafood at the seaside. Kaikoura Seaside BBQ.

So this is the peninsula I was talking about, and we walked right the way around it.

And these are the beautiful snow covered mountains you have behind you when you do so.

The obligatory headstand.

Happy Mattes.

Happy Kati.

A place at the coast for lots of lovely little seals - and birds perched on the rock on the right.
