We headed up to Kaikoura, a cool little coastal town a few hours north of Christchurch.
It was dark when we arrived, but we found a great little restaurant, and our server happened to be a college student from Michigan. She said that she recognized our "accents".
I'm sure that this is a beautiful little town, but it's rainy and a bit cold. Not the best climate for the beach, so we decided to move on across to Nelson. Even though it was overcast, the inland scenery was still beautiful. We drove for hours, and hardly saw another vehicle on the road.
Nelson is on the northern tip of the South Island, and close to the Able Tasman National Park. It was dark again when we arrived in Nelson this evening, and we're going to try and see the park in the morning before we head over to Picton to catch the ferry.
