Day4 Through to Kaikoura

...and after a sleepless night we remembered than the trains and trucksassed over a nearby overbridge. Not to mention a large plane at about 2am!

We were on the road before 10am....our packing up is getting faster. We travel through voneyards and parched golden hillss and stop at Kekerengu at the famous The Store for morning tea.

We pass through Kaikoura to Peketa where we set up camp.The beach is very pebbly and there is a fearsome undertow. We watch a strong young man be totally dumped by a wave in the shallows. The lady at the store told me it is very hard to get out of the water as thepebbles keep moving underfoot.

An array of edible flowers attracts Duncans attention.k   

We drove back tWe drove back to Kaikoura and pick up some fruit, gas, diesel etc and have adrive around the foreshore. It is very humid, but we manage a game of CRAZY golf back at the camp.Duncan wins the minigilf 66 to 67! for 9 holes. Fortunately the camp store does hot chips so Duncan BBQs the steak while I do the greens and we have a lovely meal. Below are two pictures taken just outside Kaikoura....one to show the length of the caravan and car and the other shows the rocky foreshore and you can see how well the seals are camoflauged.
