Downtown Kaikoura

After the whale watching I met up with Jayne and after dropping the car off at our accommodation The White Morph Motel we walked back along the coast into Kaikoura; through a lovely memorial garden, to look for something for lunch. We found a little cafe on the other side of town that was just closing, so we managed to get a takeaway of buttered date scones and coffee and ate them in the cafe garden.
Walking back to the motel a little while later we walked along the pebble beach where perched on rocks were scores of seagulls and the odd Shag or Cormorant as they are commonly known in the UK and a lone fur seal resting on it's own rock.
We then returned to the never-ending queues at the bar of the Strawberry Tree for another meal of Bar-B-Q'd Brisket for me and a Crayfish Omelette for Jayne.Read more
