Blenheim was great, Maria and Lindsay were lovely hosts, though Maria and I felt a bit worse for wear the next day.

We stopped in Kaikōura and had white bait sandwiches. John has struggled to get comfortable in the car but he’s sucking it up and not moaning at all!!! Haha.

We’re in Hamner springs just now, I went to the spa yesterday which was awesome. We had a flash meal last night and John ate loads, duck confite and we shared a crème brulee- lovely.
