* Our plans to hike the Queen
Charlotte Track in upper Marlborough were foiled due to the continued rain –
the track requires transport via water taxi, and the rain demanded a limited
water taxi schedule that would not accommodate our schedule
* So we toured the town of Picton, grabbed a coffee at a café (yes, we paid the exorbitant price for a cup of coffee to nurse our wounds from the rainout), and drove to our next destination (our next to last night in New Zealand!)
* Stayed at Albatross Backpackers in Kaikoura – one of the better options for backpacker hostels in Kaikoura, I think most of you would enjoy alternate and slightly more expensive accommodations

The Good:
* Well we were able to catch up on
things like our blog!
* Neither of us have suffered a new sandfly bite in over two days…although the old ones are still itching plenty!

The Bad:
* A bit disappointed to miss the
Queen Charlotte Track, as the Marlborough Sounds are supposed to be beautiful
So that’s that. No pictures from today either. Stay tuned for tomorrow, hopefully cool
activities await!
