Well today we had to leave the beauty of Kaikoura. We both loved the place, it had spectacular scenery and our hostel was so cosy. Anyway we are now on the path back up the coast to Picton.
Picton is where we will get the ferry across to Wellington and then drive all day (10 hours) up to Auckland so we can catch our flight to Fiji on Friday. When I say we will drive I really mean Andrew because as much as I have offered he has still not accepted, wonder why?!!
We are spending two days in a lovely hostel which has a great garden, fully equipped with spa pool.
There are loads of sand flies and other little biting creatures here so I bought some super strength insect repellent, Andrew however is still indulging in his favourite new hobby, 'fly boxing'! I'm not sure quite how successful it is compared to the repellent but he seems to be enjoying himself and is keeping fit.
Today has been a fairly relaxed day, it's really sunny so we have lazed around in the garden and wandered through the main town. Will probably have a similarly relaxing day
tomorrow as we have to get on the ferry at 4am the following day.
