Kaikoura is a choice destination for two things: swimming with dolphins, and eating good seafood. Me, I stood the appropriate 10meters from a seal and scowled into the early morning sunshine, and then ate a yummy lunch of tomato and basil from the hostel's garden.
Alas, I don't know the name of this amazing tree, but I reckon "Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree" could be put into Latin quite nicely.
