Squatting in Kaikoura

Since Christchurch we hitchhiked to Cheviot, funnily enough we all got picked up by the same person. In Cheviot some guy invited to camp on his lawn for a night and chill round his, another great example of Kiwi hospitality. The next day we hitch-hiked seperately to Kaikoura. A woman in a winnebago picked me up, she was so nice and let me have a go in her kayak and also took me to a seal colony. In Kaikoura I went Whale Watching on my own which was an epic experience seeing 2 sperm whales, dolphins, penguins and albatross. Later meeting up with the guys we camped in the town for one night. We planned to leave Kaikoura the next day but in town we met Tom from Nelson who took us to his mate Brendans where we stayed for the day and camped nearby on some grass. The house is Jenni and Bianca- 2 girls from Miami with Brendan from Plymouth. They live on a terrace of one storey houses and the end few houses are empty as the housing is all up for sale. One of the doors was open so we've been staying in there for free using electricity and hot showers, kind of sketchy but we're gettting by.

Last night we had Pizza and Ice Cream night! Just a little party for the sake of having fun. Everybody was round, Andy from Nelson was over among others.







Oh yeah.... and I got my head shaved... hahaha
