Kaikoura coast

The coast around Kaikoura is stunning. Such a scenic road to drive along, or, as in my case, ride along in a bus. I can surely understand people stopping in bays and at lookout points to enjoy the amazing beauty and ruggedness this coast has to offer. I hope to one day explore it properly!

I’d rather walk along the beach, feeling the wind gush against my body, while getting some sort of free face scrub. I like it warm, butContinueContinue reading “A perfect day on a beach”
