Ulli: Going North

Now we are on tour!

The first day brought us to Hanmer Springs, a town in the north of Christchurch, laying very nice and picturesque in the mountains. There one can do everything that is dangerous and nailbiting exciting: kayaking, canoeing, quad driving, bungee jumping, diving... The bravest we did was - due to the pouring rain - to sit in the famous spa in solphor water. It was most relaxing i have to say, although a bit smelly...

The next day we went to the Kaikoura peninsula, famous for its clayfish (yes, I didnt know that either!). We used the nice weather to hike around the whole peninsula, to enjoy fantastic views! In the afternoon we joined a guided kayaking-tour, a "seal encounter". To observe the seals from closest distances was great. And it certainly was not the last time we went kayaking!

Today we went to Picton, where we want to go hiking tomorrow, and continue our trip on the North Island on Monday!! Surely we will keep you informed!!

Left you can find a few pictures from our trip in Kaikoura!
