Kaikoura /Picton
We drove to Kaikoura on Friday night and stayed at the Kaikoura Trotting Club which is an NZMCA park for its members. Plenty of other motorhomes and campervans in for the night. Quick walk to the beach for a photo of the Kaikoura coastline. Fish and chips was the only way to go when arriving
