One of New Zealands all-time best drives - Kaikoura


One of New Zealand best road trips can be had along the coast at Kaikoura, not least for the changes post the 2016 earthquake (Wikipedia 2016_Kaikoura_earthquake) and the amazing road and rail reconstruction.




Looking back towards Kaikoura from the north - amazing sea colours not done justice here 



Tilted formations 


Seals at southern end of Kaikoura - about a 20-30min walk. We made the mistake of doing it on one of the hottest days recorded in the area - 35 degrees C.



The walk to the seals 


Crayfish done the "proper" way and a whitebait fritter sandwich - roadside grill southern end of Kaikoura , not cheap but better than that frozen  stuff we get in Auckland - and the location - right on the beach !!!!
