just a quick update cos i so want to remember this place right now and share some of it too!! its lush...kaikoura on the east coast of south island, new zealand. been ere a couple of weeks ago but so didnt appreciate it! we are staying in a hostel called the lazy shag! with the ocean one side and all the whales, seal colonies and penguins...the snow mountains the other side in the distance and a tiny garden and stream at the bottom...lambs and diffodils everywhere and a proper smell of spring! love it! the sun out too and its soo nice to see it! proper warm on our balcony! its a hard life being a traveller...this is so what its all about! amazing...gives a different perspective on life...pretty much close to bliss! ... x x x
