Kia ora,

We had a relaxing morning and did not have to hit the road too early. After we left, we picked up 2 new travelers (after 2 left yesterday) - a guy from England and a girl from Scotland. The ratio of guys to girls on the trip has been 1 to 3, but it sounds like another guy is joining tomorrow as well.

We drove through some very scenic, mountainous country along the east coast and came across a fur seal colony this afternoon. We stopped for photos and I even got a good video of them.

We then got to do a hike along the coast in Kaikoura that took a couple hours. I hiked with the new guy from England and learned he is a Preston North End supporter, and we talked soccer for a good portion of the time.

After the hike, we noticed a spectacular sunset while waiting for our fish fry to complete, and then enjoyed an excellent dinner. Early morning calls, as I am leaving for a dolphin swim at 5 am.Leer más
