Today we travelled from Picton to Kaikoura. Picton was a sleepy seaside town, the main port for the ferrys traveling between north and South Island.
We didn't do a great deal in Picton other than wander about the town. There is a walk to do there but we shall do that on our stop over before north island. Our hostel was lovely and served free hot apple crumble and (cold) icecream in the evening which was a lovely homely touch!
The trip to Kaikoura was only 3 hours so we arrived just after lunchtime which meant we could check into our hostel. During he drive we went past the seal colonies so will be taking a walk there one of the days to see the seals. Was amazing as you looked at the beach and though "oh yer just rocks" then realised you could see a seal... Then all of a sudden seals were all you could see!
After checking in we popped to grab some lunch and do some food shopping before double checking our booking at the dolphin encounter office and heading back to the hostel.
We spent the remainder of the day drinking hot chocolate by the fire and reading our books aswell as a bit of a reshuffle to our plans due to awkward bus timings!
Had a little chat to Jed on the phone then we cooked some dinner before calling it a night as we have an early start tomorrow to play with the dolphins
