Over the Christmas holidays, Tina and I took a brief trip to Kaikoura and Blenheim. We went across on the ferry and rented a car for a few days to drive around. While the weather on the first day was brilliant, the rest of the time it was rather wet, somewhat limiting our plans.

Anyway, I took a few photos around Kaikoura. As per usual I have high resolution versions available if anyone wants them.

What I really like about Kaikoura is how picturesque it is with the mountains and the sea so close to each other. This photo was taken on the coastal road - the picture is about 20m to the right.

That afternoon we did a walk around the coast just south of Kaikoura where a seal colony lives (although we only saw a single seal which was right next to the carpark). This panoramic shot is looking south just around from Kaikoura.

This one is of one of the many little bays around the peninsula.

This is the Kaikoura ranges from the cliffs above the seal colony.

Finally, this is another of the southern bays, taken from the cliffs above (after we dragged ourselves up them slowly).
