Road Trip: Day 17 - Christchurch

Today, we went to a penguin colony. Because the penguins only come at night and leave at day, the whole place was free (until night broke in, of course), so we went and looked if we could spot some seals. We did: one on the rocks, and, — this is where the surprise is — on the grass inside the colony. It appeared to have come through an open gate, left open so the penguins could leave if they wanted. We spent the time watching as two employees tried to chase it away with a shovel and a stick. First it went onto a walkway, then behind a stage, then back out of the stage and onto it, then back onto the grass. Then the process repeated again. After a long pursuit of the seal, which we actually thought was a sea lion, the two people managed to get him out a side entrance.

After this, we hopped into the “truck” to drive to the start and end of our tour, Christchurch. There, we checked in to a campsite with a trampoline and a playground. 

Once it was time for dinner, we drove to an indian restaurant. There we ate butter chicken, tandoori and many other indian delicacies. Afterwards, Niklas and I went to a nearby playground to play.
