Here we are with the beast. currently we are in beautiful Kaikoura, noted for it's marine wildlife. We have seen loads of adorable Fur Seals and don't expect to eat any. We had a late night out last night showing off our pool and dart skills at a local pub.. Today we a have a scenic cliff walk to look forward to with more seals and hopefully other animals life.

We have made it to the South Island. The past two nights were spent in Tasman National Park. This took a while to get to but was well worth the effort. We spent a full day soakng up the stunning ocean/mountain scenery via sea kayaking and hiking. I can't upload the pictures on this computer but they are coming. For the time being, I will share this stock photo of the sweet angelic looking and delightfully tasting little lambs.

We decided after out first day, to drive straight to Wellington and pick up the ferry to the South Island...gruelling! More later.

Kia Orano! We are here soaking up the sun in gorgeous Rarotonga. The weather has turned the corner and the scenery really shines now! The fish is fresh and delicious and goes well with carbs, carbs and carbs (rice, potato, taro)...monster plates of food, no going hungry here!
