Punga Cove

The day before yesterday we went on a really cool hike that took us up on a crest overlooking the ocean, which turned around and came back along the beach/rocky beach. We had saw a bunch of seals, had a kind of scary run in with a few but everyone is just fine!
Yesterday we arrived in Punga Cove, which is in the Malborough Sounds region of the south island. We started our drive from Kaikoura at about 9:30, and at about 11 we stopped at the Montana vinyard and winery and did a tour and wine tasting, very cool, then stopped in Blenheim (about 10 minutes past that), on the way to which we passed some horses and a sign that said dressage center...I might go crazy with all the great horses here not getting on one, but perhaps in Queenstown. We got groceries and then continued on our trek to Punga Cove, which was several hours and super windy and sketchy, but we made it here alright! It's absolutely gorgeous!
Went on a 4 hour hike this morning, lots and lots of hills...ouch! But amazing views made it worth it, I'm going to be in such good shape when I get home!!!
I would type more but this internet is super slow and expensive.
I hope all is well at home!!!
