The Point B&B in Kaikoura

We followed the highway through the tunnels along the coast to the pretty little seaside town of Kaikoura.  

 When we arrived in Kaikoura, we followed our directions around the water front to a farm house on the water, called The  Point B&B.  There was a field of calla lilies and a small fenced in yard with sheep in front.  The is a family sheep farm, where the hostess was raised in the home she and her husband now shared.

We have a comfortable room with a little electric radiator for heat, which worked pretty well.

 They had a little garden, this was the view from our side bedroom window. 

Glad to find gasoline

These huge Norfolk Pines lined the coastline in Kaikoura. 

With the empty line on, we made it into this petrol station for a fill-up.  The gasoline, of course, was sold by the liter and we calculated that this gas was over $6.00 a gallon. 

The name Kaikoura apparently means "Eating crayfish" in Maori.  Fresh crayfish, which is really a New Zealand lobster sort of seafood, was a specialty at the Pier Hotel where we had dinner.
