We had plans to do a seal swim in Kaikoura first thing, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to poor water visibility. So we went to a Danish bakery to grab some breakfast and talk things over. We decided to book a dolphin swim for tomorrow instead and take advantage of the nice weather today and drove down south to Akaroa and check out the beautiful bays. The drive took us on curvy roads up and down the big hills and we could see the bays down below. We got some lunch on the water and then jumped right into the water. It was a perfectly clear sunny day and very warm, so the cold water was refreshing.

Then we made our way back north of Christchurch to our airbnb for the night in Amberley. We're staying with an older lady named Helen on her farm and she's very friendly. Feels almost like staying at grandma's house. She loves to chat and tell us stories.
We stopped by the grocery store to get some sandwich stuff for the next few days and we got stuff to make tacos tonight! We haven't had access to a kitchen in awhile so we're taking advantage.
