Marlborough & Kaikoura

Our road trip down to the South Island of New Zealand had two stops planned. First a few days in Blenheim to explore (some of) the nearby vineyards and figure out which one makes the best Sauvignon Blanc, and then a drive further down the coast to Kaikōura to do some seal spotting, hiking walking, and relaxing in the pools of Hanmer Springs.
