kaikoura is well known for whale watching as at once it was in the "most likely place to see whale in the world" list. But still, that doesnt explain the price tag that they slap on the whale watching tour. So we ended up not doing it. i remember it was a rainy day, we didnt get to walk around the town much (there's only 2 roll of shops only anyway...). We ended up having meal at typical western burger shop. I dont have much feeling about it, but i think it should be a new experience to them (although very likely they would not remember it now..)
kaikoura is a coastal city, so as we are approaching the town, the road begin to go curvy along the coast. Its quite tricky for driver, but with the spectacular view in return, i dont mind at all.
Again with some luck, i actually gotten a motel that has a front sea view. We were so excited that i even suggested everyone to wake up at 5am to check out sunrise (woke up at 9 eventually...). And the highlight of the day ended up to be.....the sudden hailing. Firstly my dad was complaining how come the rain here hurt so much, then only we realize it was actually hailing. My mum was so fascinated by it that she actually collected a few hails and seeing it to melt....
see....tourists are always the happiest people.
next day we decided to just cruise around the area. Passed by a wineyard, think it looks kinda nice, so drop by and wine tasting again~
After that we decided to go to a place that i was reluctant to go, but at the end it was surprisingly pleasant.
yes...the lavender garden....it was not the biggest lavender garden i have been, but the ambient is really pleasant, like a small private garden that welcome anyone passby to take a rest, enjoy cup of tea (and put money into honesty box)
lavender
nice backdrop right~
family photo time..
