En Route

By the time I finish gawking at Kaikoura Peninsula, the shadows are starting to lengthen and I have quite a few km separating me from Nelson, my destination for the day. Thus, I only allow myself to be distracted a couple of times:


Near Kaikoura


Near Nelson

The day's drive is only a little over 400km, but it's been bucketing rain for most of it, and the road is slow going in places no matter the weather.  The rain (and the road) in the mountains near Whangamoa is...enlightening...and by the time I hit Nelson, I'm ready for a beer.
