NZ Part 8 : The South Island @ Kaikoura

Kaikoura is the first place we stopped after getting off the InterIslander ferry at Picton. It is one of our favorite places visited. Amat cantik. Nyaman. In this post also I will let the photos do the talking..

The road to Kaikoura is scenic. Beautiful. Wonderful (dan semua synonym lain). With miles upon miles of seaside views.

The road hugged the beach for miles and miles.

The sea view is rugged.

There were brave surfers in the afternoon (must be freezing) sea.

As previously, there are few like travelers on the road.

An accident on the road (the one and only).

We stopped by the sea for solat. The view was beautiful.

We saw this seafood place as we drove into Kaikoura. And stopped for fish and chips. Fried Bluff oysters (Bluff is the southern-most town on the South Island). And scallops. Seriously sedap. And fresh. And everything else a fish and chips should be. Never tasted seafood as good as this in fact.

The seagull was bold enough to come close for our chips.

I wish the photo is clearer so you can see the sea spray at the far end of the beach. Amazing.

Some photos I thought I must share (?) Please humor me..

Sunrise in Kaikoura, The campsite was rather big but with only a handful of campers. It was one of the quiet campsites where we spent our nights. But the sunrise made up for the dark night.

Morning coffee on the beach (in his kain pelikat of course).

Kaikoura is a seaside town popular for whale watching, swim with dolphins or watch seals. We didnt have enough to time to cram any of that. So we said we will return.


And then I asked hubs, can we move here you think?
