More fun in Marlborough

---

Yesterday, we took a drive to Kaikoura - famous for whale watching. Unfortunately it was a grey and windy day, so we were satisfied with viewing some seals up close and having a yummy pub meal. On a clear warm day it would be a beautiful area, a lovely coastal town with mountains close by.

This morning, we visited the resident pets at the B&B - some Alpacas and miniature horses. Milly the Alpaca is very friendly and greets you with a kiss. Unfortunately she got a bit spooked by the male in the herd and ended up spitting in my face! But she is still very cute... Then we headed back to Picton for a spot of shopping - they have quite a number of nice gift type shops featuring locally made products. In the afternoon we headed out to the wineries again on the B&B's complimentary mountain bikes - this time we went to Forrest Winery, Framingham (probably our favourites wines!), Wairau River and Georges Michel.
