Have we mentioned that New Zealand is absolutely gorgeous? You can't take a road, turn a corner without being awestruck.

We had a five day Easter break, so we hit the road. Day 1 we drove along the Pacific Coast to Kaikoura. It's a windy, heart stopping drive where I clutch the door handle and pray.

As the road becomes enshrouded in mist, you can stop at any point and see tons of seals. At Kaikoura we walked along a cliff trail. Below we saw more seal, boats and divers harvesting crayfish (that's lobsters to you). It's a great little hike and I recommend it to anyone.

At the end of the day we stopped at an open barbeque where we ate mussels, scallops and who-could-resist-them lobbies!
