Kaikoura 13/6/16

Purple sunrise sky in the backdrop with snow mountains and green fields dotted with cattle is now officially my favourite kind of skyline

 
Wooosh

Headed back to Queenstown Britz outlet to fix the weird noise from the brakes and engine. Took the chance to bathe and then we're off after slightly over an hour. Drove straight down to Kaikoura and we saw seals along the way! 

Found a super nice lookout where we cam-whored before we reach the main town. 


 
Way too mesmerising. I meant the guy there of course HAHA

Went to check out where to eat from the iSite and found out that most of the restaurants are close but there's a famous BBQ seafood along the way to the seal colony. So we headed straight down to the seal colony where we found many lazing seals chilling by the shore. Approached a few (though we were supposed to keep a 10m distance) but they started growling at us haha. 

 
I didn't wanna go any further cos LOOK AT THAT FROWN ON HIS EYE! Haha 

 
Oh and look at that colony of seals! Or so Ms Lee claims -.-

Went back to the famous BBQ stall to eat our seafood lunch! "Kai" means food and "Koura" means crayfish in Maori, so no surprise, we got a whole crayfish (which looks more like a lobster), along with scallops, mussels, and salmon. 

 
Mouth-watering

 
Keyword: "original" "world famous" and then you need some initial crowd and you're good to go 

 
But it was really good though I must say haha 

After satisfying our seafood craving (no oyster though), we set out to the farm park! Rabbits, Guinea pigs, pigs, goat, pony, donkey, deer, and roaming goose, chicken, peacocks, and super aggressive and huge turkeys. But the highlights were the llamas and alpacas! Foamy, Moppy, Browny, Mr Eager, Mr Shy, and Mr Arrogant were some of the more prominent ones, the rest just dao us. Haha. 

 
Mr Eager, who was the first to rush to us. Maybe he's really just Mr Hungry 

 
Ee-yor 

 
Arrogant piece of shit (relented eventually, and succumbed to the temptation that is the food on my hand) 

 
And bambi~ 

 
Goateeee 

 
Huge ass mafia Turkey 

Left the farm after an hour to rush to our next location. Got a few scare (scolded by the construction worker for going above their temporary speed limit, and saw a police stopping a vehicle) before we reach Picton sort of unscathed.
