Kaikoura

A nice leisurely morning, collecting another rental car and then driving up the coast to Kaikoura. The weather continues to be kind to us and it's a very pleasant 27 degrees. After booking into our B&B, we wandered down into town - a very typical seaside town, with a real holiday feel to it, grabbed some lunch and paid an impromptu visit to the local golf club. It wasn't on the itinerary but looked very quiet and inviting in the sun so decided to play - very nice little course and we were round in less than 3 hours.

We then decided to continue with some more exercise and took a walk on the Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway which has some great views over the rocky bays. There was a 2-3 hour option but I'm afraid we only managed an hour on the southern side!

Rocks in Limestone Bay

Then it was back to base to freshen up before dinner. looking forward to whalewatching tomorrow - just hoping the bad weather doesn't come in so that it gets cancelled.

Finally CONGRATULATIONS to Kirsty on getting her place at Christchurch Canterbury - knew you would and hope the dentist goes okay tomorrow x
