We drove to Kaikora in plenty of time for our whale watching trip. We made some lunch, did some packing, up dated the blog etc, I even went into where we had to check in and said we was on a trip later on in the afternoon and asked if I could use the toilets.... So just imagine our frustration and annoyance when we went in 2 hours later all wrapped up warm and packed with supplies, to find they hadn't ran any tours that day due to high winds out at sea!! DOH!

We drove to our campsite and played some cards and while sat inside experienced an earthquake, 4.3 on the rictor scale! Much to my amusement Ang looked all around outside the windows and turned back to me and said "I think someone's just walked into the van"! I couldn't help but giggle as I replied "No I think it was an earthquake!"
