I departed the Dusky Lodge bright and early
to make it to the bus stop the recommended ten minutes prior to the bus’
scheduled arrival. I’m really not sure why I bother keeping to times and being
early in New Zealand, everyone else is just too relaxed to worry about getting
places on time, so everything is always late...
My last sunset in kaikoura!
The bus arrived only 20 minutes late, which
is fairly good for New Zealand, but the Bus Driver then decided he needed his
half an hour break so myself and the others at the bus stop were left to wait
for a further 30 minutes. Meaning by the time we got the bus we had been
waiting for an hour. In the rain.
The journey wasn’t ‘too’ bad, there were
quite a few twisty roads, and someone was sick at the back, (not me this time! Hurray!) but I held it
together – which was a blessed relief after yesterday’s fiasco of retching for
2hours on a boat…
I haven’t got a great deal to add honestly,
I found my hostel, checked in, met
some lovely people, had some free chocolate pudding, booked my hostel in
Wellington, went in the hot tub with Natalie, and then collapsed on my bed. I'm all packed and ready to go tomorrow morning when I catch the ferry!
Such a beautiful stretch of coastline
