Kaikoura to Hanmer spring

Off again to Kaikoura , 180 north of Christchurch.

This is a BONUS and free while walking. A big fur seal having a nap in the hot sun.

Trying my super power but failed. spent a nite in Goosebay Camping Ground and next to the railway tracks. If you guys love wine then this is the place to come to.

My home for the nite surrounded by green and no noisy next doors.

This is useful as you go along guided us where to stop. I used the idea to drive to see wineyard, marine mammal encounters in Kaikoura enjoying the beautiful country scenery followed the trail to the delightful spa of Hanmer Springs.

Visiting Hanmer Springs was NOT in my itinerary. Yes.. I had one .About 140 km north of Christchurch with nice roads to drive. Less stress. Jumped into the thermal pools with lots of people. felt good . Found the Red tree, biigest in the world. Brought into Nz from USA. I felt so small.
