leaving Kaikoura

This is another spot I'm very sad to leave.  We arrived when clouds were very low and this morning as I write this the clouds have lifted!  Indeed this YHA hostel has the most spectacular waterfront view in this town (as the guidebooks promised)

We're back to Christchurch today to fly to "Windy Wellington".  And a new adventure on North Island!

Here's our friendly quizmaster from last night's trivia quiz night at the Adelphi pub in Kaikoura. (I walked in late but the winning team let me join them:  an Aussie, a Brazilian, and a young Canadian from Whitehorse).
