Drive NZ Classic Day 5 – Drive to Hamner Springs

Yikes – a 5am start!!! So much for holiday. We got going on time but not without some grumbling. Todays physical exercise was pushing Grants MG out to the road so not everyone in the Motel had a 5am start!

We had a dash down to the Picton Ferry through the Wellington traffic. Wow that starts early. Luckily the crossing was smooth and sunny.

The drive down the Kaikourou coast is truly wonderful. We commented that it way outclasses the great ocean road.

The ‘closed road’ sections out to Hamner Springs through “Sound of Music” scenery will only be undestandable when we get some pictures up here.

I also now have an NZ Voda account so update will be more frequent.
