Kaikoura and beyond

Before setting off, we took a few pics of the Kaikōura coastline, which showed the effects of the 2016 earthquake, which changed their landscape forever. There are vast tracts of sea bed now several metres above sea level. Having not seen the coast before its hard to make a before/after comparison, but we were told the main road running through town was comprehensively trashed and it took many months to sort it, so the town was virtually cut off.

We made our way through the Canterbury area skirting Christchurch and eventually arrived at our accommodation for the next few nights.

The advantage of booking Airbnbs is you end up with off the beaten track and off beat places and this place is no exception:

We briefly settled in with a cuppa before we were picked up for a meal out with the Christchurch crew.

So great to catch up - I think we both appreciated having a night off from speaking to each other 😂😂Meer informatie
