It was a leisurely drive to Timaru yesterday, with frequent stops along the way for coffee or a bit of a walk to stretch the legs–I’m still having a bit of back trouble. As always it was nice to be travelling along the Kaikoura coast and the North Canterbury hill country. We stopped at Cheviot for a coffee and wondered where our coffee plungers from a previous trip had ended up. The back story here is that after a coffee stop and a walk, we hopped in the car and drove off, leaving our coffee plungers on the roadside picnic table. So, yet another trip to a Briscoes sale.
The highlight of the day was dinner out at Zest Cafe last night with friends. Lots of laughter and catching up. I think, in retrospect, we were a bit noisy. Luckily we were in a corner at the back.
A few photos.
