Seals in Kaikoura

The sky is gray, but by a quirk of illumination the sea has a cheerful turquoise tone. A narrow road undulates parallel to the beach, if you could call a black and porous rocks piled on the shore. But wait, one moves. No, there are several! From the left window of the bus discover that are seals. Many, many seals, which gather in groups a few meters from asphalt to count how has been your fishing and relax, just a little, before returning to dive into the choppy waves in search of a snack. In the missing kilometers to reach Kaikoura not stop them. So calm. On reaching the village we found out that we are in another one of those unique places for whale and dolphin. There are many tours to choose from, but the seals we have seen free.

Interesting place to buy in New Zealand

If you are looking for a place to buy discs in Auckland there is a small vintage paradise located on the main avenue of the New Zealand city.

Across the entrance, you are greeted with a huge Maori guard with a scowl, surrounded by a lot of posters with information on the cultural scene of the city. When you go through the small anteroom, reflecting light yellow neon, red, green and blue to highlight the name of the store a huge sign appears, with crescent and bruised by the passage of time, but dignified and dazzling: Real Groovy Records where eighties never left.

With winds of Championship Vinyl, the atmosphere is similar to that of the fictional record store in High Fidelity, Nick Hornby novel, but with a difference: Real Groovy is much larger, and is open to it, but moviegoers. Chris Hart, the owner, does not look anything like the two Hollywood stars who starred in the film version, John Cusack and Jack Black, except his passion for music.
