South Island


Well, we've said goodbye to the North Island and arrived on the South Island. The ferry crossing was fine despite having to get up at 6am to catch it. We arrived in Picton, picked up the car, and drove to Kaikoura.

On the way we stopped at Ohau Point to look at the colony of New Zealand Fur Seals that lives there, and got some very good views. Then we stopped for crayfish at one of the roadside caravans that sells them.

On the ferry we got very good views of the Kaikoura range of mountains with snow on the top, but by the time we got to Kaikoura the tops were covered by cloud.
