Surfing and Surf Casting

There is supposedly some good surf casting fishing- and we've seen people catch fish, but we been out four times already and haven't had any luck yet. We've also been out surfing to Campbell's bay beach a few times- it's a great spot!

Kakanui

 Collecting mussels

Last Saturday we moved from Christchurch to a small coastal town next to Oamaru called Kakanui where we will stay for one month. The town consists mostly of holiday houses, and the one we are staying in sits near the mouth of the Kakanui river where it empties into the ocean. There is an awesome surf beach around the corner. Yesterday, while surf casting, we had a Hector's dolphin come up to us within just a couple meters!

Akaroa Wedding

Cruise ship in the Akaroa harbour. 

Because of it the town was much busier than normal!

This weekend our friends got married in the quaint town of Akaroa, 1 hour from Christchurch. It was beautiful- with the best food we've ever had at a wedding!
