East Coast of South Island

Even though it is just the one highway hugging itself along the East Coast of the New Zealand's South Island, you will be amazed at the variety of nature and stunning sights around every single corner. Pictures speak for themselves! :-)

Seals everywhere on our way to Kaikora

Stunning coastal walk in Kaikora

Tidy-up operations in downtown Christchurch after the earthquake

Banks Peninsula (close to Christchurch)

Found a beautiful place for some freedom camping at Lake Pukaki

Lake Pukaki and its glacial water (looks "milky" doesn't it!)

View in the rear-view mirror of Vivian :-)

We really get spoiled with amazing camp spots - like this one at Lake Benmore!

Earthquake Rocks

Funny shaped Elephant Rocks

The "giant marbles" of Moureaki Boulders

Dunedin

The steepest road in the world (Dunedin)!

... and the most interesting part of Dunedin (Cadbury Factory - yummi!)

Quick rest at Otago Peninsula (close to Dunedin)

Ah-ha - We knew that James' family was famous somewhere in the world :-)
