Kaikoura

We're back along the coast -- this time in Kaikoura, an area best known for its whale watching.



We've arrived at our sixth llama farm, Cushchine Cottage (www.cushchinecottage.co.nz). This place differs from the others we've stayed at because it's an actual farm park. Along with a herd of seven male llamas, they have a variety of other animals -- ranging from donkeys to a wallaby -- that people pay to see.

Amber helped feed, shovel manure and groom animals today, while I watched Ediza and worked the cash register.

Owner Lynn Barrett showed Amber how to give pony rides, and Amber took a few kids out on the ponies. Ediza, the baby jockey, went twice.
