Kaikoura

So when I was in Wellington on New Years Eve I met three israeli guys... and since they were leaving for Australia, I decided to leave the two swiss guys, as they were driving down the west coast, and drive to Christchurch and the east coast instead.
Kaikoura is the place to be when it comes to wildlife animals! And so I decided to make a quick stop there! Quick...yeah thats what I thought!
Kaikoura was the city worst damaged in the earthquake 2016 and the highway 1 from Picton to Kaikoura was still closed. Two other roads where closed due to flooding. And so I had two take a narrow and windy way through mountains to get to Kaikoura. Shortly said: it took me an eternity, as there were road maintenances everywhere due to the earthquake and I almost ran out of petrol... it was a nightmare! But with hindsight I can gladly say: I made it! And my day there was definitely worth this horror trip!

Because the next day, before heading to Christchurch, I went swimming with dolphins!! 🐋 What an experience!!Okumaya devam et
