South Island Adventures

I can now officially say that I've been to the South Island

I saw the seals at Kaikoura

They didn't smell

The one on the wall in the background had a nasty temper and showed me his teeth 

The one on the grass could have let me touch him, I didn't want to risk it.... 

The public toilets were so clean at Kaikoura you could have had a picnic in the cubicle

Northland/Auckland - you need to step up your game!

We went to Hamner Springs Thermal Resort

It was so clean and new, it made Waiwera look like a dump - and it was way cheaper

On Sunday we drove around Christchurch looking at the damage, I felt bad waking around taking photos. Then I counted the tourists doing the same thing

This road was packed with cars that had pulled over to take pics of the houses perched on the edge of the cliff

This road used to be flat

This bridge used to be straight

There are lots of these signs in the Red Zone

This is how they hold up the walls in Lyttleton

...and so for all who are curious, no I didn't feel any aftershocks

There's always next time when I go down again to tackle Mt Hutt, which opened today!!

Waa-hoo!!
