We have driven the most gorgeous route from Marahu to Kaikoura, on the pacific coast. Our route wandered through farmland, with distant views of snow covered peaks, past Molesworth Station, at 180,000 hectares the biggest farm in NZ.
Kaikoura is notable for seals, penguins, whales, and lobsters. We were going to whale watch, but the swell tomorrow is big (it comes all the way from Chile) so we shall be landlubbers and do the seal and penguins instead.
We have, however, invested in a lobster. The nice lady split it for us. We have the lemon, the sauvignon blanc, and all the necessary: photograph attached!
This morning started out hot and sunny, but the west coast is cool and overcast as I write (prob abt 15c) so no shirts today.

Last nights menu was less distinguished, but as memorable: just outside the park entrance is a caravan, "The Fat Tui" which sells the worlds best burgers. We had one each, and agreed. We want more.....
