The suburbs away from Christchurch are bustling little towns themselves. I actually spotted more restaurants and cafes that I wanted to dine in than in the city itself!
The New Zealand landscape is truly beautiful.
There were large expanse of green fields dotted with white sheep. This picture reminds me of a milk advertisement I saw while I was young in Malaysia.
There are more sheep in NZ than human beings.
I love these mountaintops so high up they're partly covered by clouds.
I thought these hills are very unique as they're wholly covered with bushes with yellow flowers.
Kaikoura at last! The town has the best of both worlds - located where the mountains are on one side and the sea on the other. The town centre has only one major road running through it, tightly packed with various shops and accommodation.
We checked into our hotel, a boutique place owned by an elderly couple Lilla and Frank. Lilla greeted us at the door and proceeded to give us a rundown of the fave spots around town. She gave high recommendations to try a roadside restaurant (equivalent to mamak stall) selling fresh crayfish/lobster as well as other spots she thought was worthwhile our time.
We wasted no time in driving down to the stall. When we reached the place, there were about 5 lobsters left, price ranging from $44 to $60. We got the $48 lobster.
Up close and personal shot of the fresh catch. Just off the ocean behind that afternoon.
Our lobster snack, served on a bed of rice, buttered bread and a side salad. Delicious! It was so so so fresh, firm and sweet!
