Another road trip. This time we headed north to Kaikoura. At Kaikoura there is a tremendous view across the sun drenched beach with snowy mountains as a backdrop.
Just north of Kaikoura there is another seal colony at Ohau point.
We continued on up to Blenheim which is a bit of a nothingness so we headed to a suggested pub in Renwick. The Cork and Keg is said to be a traditional English pub which has a dartboard. Unfortunately they lied about the dartboard, but it had a jolly londoner serving behind the bar so we stayed for a pint and a game of cribbage and some food.
Time was pressing on, but unfortunately there was no room in the Renwick hostel so we had to press on to Havelock and stayed at the Rutherford YHA. It was nice enough, but set in an old school house complete with creaky floorboards, stiff beds and room like jail cells.
