Kaikoura

Here's a typical pic of the Kaikoura coastline - fabulous blue sea colours when the sun is shining.

Managed to get my flat tyre sorted out finally at Kaikoura - it is now back to tubeless on the right rear - seems to be ok now. Stayed at another DOC camp just north of town where I could see this shot of snow still on the Kaikoura Ranges.

No suitable flying sites around Kaikoura so I concentrated on some repairs to the JW and battery charging in readiness for arrival at Christchurch this coming weekend. Did take in the sites tho - seal colony was interesting and cliff walk very nice too. Was tempted to try a paua fritter at the roadside BBQ but was too dear at $9. Had my first POP - park over property - NZMCA site at the Kaikoura Trotting track. Met a couple from Tauranga! And, just for Mel, here's a couple of photos of the inside of the wagon.

Overniting at Parnassus near Cheviot tonite, (Wednesday).
