Just a quick entry, cos im not sure when I'll get net access again. Unfortunately we didn't have any in our room last night. We're in the beautiful peninsula town of Kaikoura, which normally has a huge wall of mountains as a backdrop, but it's, been too cloudy to see them. We caught a brief glimpse of them yesterday. And from what little we could see, they were very impressive. Absolutely enormous and capped with snow.
Things haven't been as good as they could have unfortunately. The weather hasn't been cooperating for the kind of photos I want to get, and Nomi and I both copped a pretty bad case of sea sickness this morning when we went on the whale-watching tour. Neither of us have ever been seasick before, so it took us by surprise. We DID get to see a couple of whales for five mins or so each, which was pretty cool!
Today we're heading inland to Hamner Springs. This town is famous for (you guessed it) geothermal springs, and is known as a relaxation town, so we're planning to get some pampering. I also understand that we will have net access there, so hopefully I'll be able to share some of the best photos we've taken so far.
You may hear from us again today, if not, then maybe tomorrow!
Take care all!
About Me
- Neil
- I love life. I love beauty. I love to try new things, but I also love my comfort zone. I'm affectionate and think hugs are as important as air. I love to talk about amazing things, and I let my imagination run away, but not so far that I can't catch it. I love being social, and keep my friends close. I like making things, and I'm always halfway through some project that will never be finished just as I'm starting up another one. I tend to be obsessive in my interests, but I prefer to think of it as getting the most out of them.
