NZ - South Island Trip Day 10 (13 Mar)
Christchurch -> Kaikoura -> Blenheim -> Picton -> Nelson
Off to Kaikoura for the whale watching! Was shocked to see that all the tours were full! They told us that all the tours were cancelled the day before and now its full, we would have to be in the waiting list. And so we waited for two hours and decided that if we still can't get into this one, we will make another trip after we come back from Hammer Spring. But we were lucky, we got into the 12:15 pm one :)
Saw four Sperm Whales, some albatrosses, seals and some Dusky Dolphins (lucky!).
We found out later that those tours after ours got cancelled. Phew! We were lucky :)
Continued with our journey to Nelson, passing thru Marlborough. There were lots of vineyards and fruit plantations on the way...
Vineyards, Blenleim
Queen Charolotte, Picton
Royal Gala in season, Rai Valley
Arrived in Nelson late in the evening and settled for some Maggies as the Chinese resturant charges NZ$13 for just some pork fried rice.
