Kaikoura



We arrived in Picton after a three hour ferry from Wellington. The trip brought back memories of a trip Lynn, Francois and I took to Vancouver Island 2 years ago, breath taking. Picked up the rental car and drove the two hours to Kaikoura.

We are staying at a lovely beach house two minutes from the beach, the fire is roaring and we are enjoying a lovely glass of wine (me beer). We are going to cook our own supper and get up early to go swimming with DOLPHINS!!!! I can't wait.

We had lunch at Kaikoura Seafood BBQ - just a few tables by the side of the road, a covered space for the coolers of seafood, the grill, and the barbecue, and two ladies cooking and serving. We had scallops, mussels, crayfish, fish and chowder. WOW it was so yummy and cheap. DELISH!
