Woops, looks like it's been a few days since my last update. Whale watching in Kaikoura was totally cool, we saw 3 huge sperm whales surface, breathe for a while then dive again to the depths. And a huge group of dolphins (200-300) out having fun. I've got some great photos to upload, but it appears the picture server is offline at the moment. Hmph.
I'm currently in Blenheim, staying with friends I met on the Heaphy Track a few months ago. They've got a vineyard & farm here, and I think I might settle down for a wee while and lend a hand. I've gotta earn my keep somehow, right?
Yesterday we went boating with some other Kiwis on the Marlborough Sounds, and one of these days I think we're gonna mountain bike the Queen Charlotte Track, which overlooks the Sounds.
