Decided to stop off in the thermal springs this morning in Hamner Springs before setting off to Kaikoura. It was lovely to relax in the the thermal outdoor pools and Rebecca had a smashing time. However, it was a little nippy getting from one pool to another. Tony was a big kid and checked out the big water slide….not sure who is the child here!

Finally made a move on to Kaikoura (east coast) and it was touch and go on the camp site as it was booked up for the Local Seafest. We managed to get the last spot in one site near the town.

We decided not to do the Whale watching, they wanted £150 for both of us and Rebecca wasn’t allowed to come with us. Decision was easy as she wasn’t allowed and the cost too.

We also only managed to get one ticket for the Seafest tomorrow. We didn’t anticipate how big of an event it was. it was sold out and by luck a guy in the queue had a spare ticket. So Tony is going to have to hunt for a spare ticket early tomorrow morning. Fingers cross we get another ticket.
