06.01.2015 I wake up around 7 o'clock to the sound of airplane and car noises, but I don't get up until 8:00. It's after 9:00 by the time I get ready. I'm still not sure where I...

A perfect day with whale watching in Kaikoura, wine tasting in the Marlboroughs, and how a relaxed walk turned into a hellishly loud trip
