Kaikoura is a town on the north-eastern coast of the South Island of New Zealand.
It’s a place where people go to watch whales, fur seals and dolphins.  We didn’t see any whales or dolphins, but we did see plenty of seals on the rocks.

It’s a beautifully rugged coastline where the road hugs the coast quite closely, with high cliffs on the other side.

This fellow was quite curious and came closer to have a look at us, too.
