We have left the west coast and the waves of the Tasman Sea to return to the east coast where we started and the view of the South Pacific from Kaikoura. This is where you come if you want to see whales - but there is the small problem for us that this is not the season when you can expect to see them. Most of the Sperm Whales have moved on for the summer and the Orca have not really started to appear.
However in the absence of this wildlife, there are still plenty of smaller species and there is something to be said for looking at the backdrop as well while the weather cooperates. We could have posted a photo taken around the corner from here where there are over hundreds of seals having a doze, but you would get bored counting them; so here is some rare empty(ish) space.
