Hello folks from Christchurch... Sorry that we ended the last blog rather abruptly but we were running out of time on the PC and had to wrap it up real quick so i will continue from where we left off... Kaikoura - as well as seeing whales and dusky dolphins on the boat trip we also saw a fur seal colony (they stink!) and little seal pups which were quite cool!
