 We drove up to Kaikoura on our second day |
 We went on a whale watch tour in Kaikoura |
 First sighting of a sperm whale |
 The sperm whales tend to dive head down and throw their tales up |

 Getting ready to fly in a hot air balloon early on the third morning in NZ |

 Lifting off was so smooth |

 Incredible views |
 Our balloon pilot spun the basket so we could get 360 degree views |
 Our pilot took this picture |
 New Zealand is beautiful |
 We could literally see both the east and west coasts of the South Island |
 We had a blast! |
