In the morning we showered, had breakfast and then dragged our bags down to the bus stop to catch the bus to Kaikoura.
The journey was only 2 and half ours and on route we got to see a seal colony!
In Kaikoura we had to locate the hostel...the bus driver gave us directions however these turned out to be slightly inaccurate and after a few google map searches we eventually found albatross backpackers!
Quite a nice hostel with a great common area and nice log fire! Once settled we walked back into town for lunch...stumbling across a really cute cafe called the craypot where as we were so close to the sea (we could actually smell it) it would be rude to not have seafood so I opted for fish and chips! Oh how I'd missed fish and chips and all that was missing was the mushy peas!
After lunch we pottered around town, picked up some food for dinner and headed back to the hostel for the evening.
We decided our hot chocolate addiction was starting to become an expensive habit and as the hostel had free hot chocolate powder we would economise and make our own! We picked up so whipped cream and marshmallows from the shop and proceeded to make a masterpiece! Didn't taste too bad for a home effort!
Then it was comfort food all round with bacon mash and onion gravy for dinner!
