Another drive on Highway 1 and more twists and turns, one lane roads and beautiful coastal scenery.
We had read about the lobster shacks along the road and found Nin’s Bin –a pick your own crawfish (lobster) – they steam them and serve them with hot garlic butter. You get to eat them on the picnic tables outside with an ocean view.
On the drive, we tried to come up with the best descriptor for the NZ tourist types:
* Adventure X’ers
* Bio-trekkers
* Scenery Seniors
* Bus Biddlies
Finally in Picton with no hotel room. We tried a B&B- no one home, a hotel – with the last room “just taken”. We finally found a nice place, close enough to town to walk in for a quick shopping excursion before leaving the South Island. Dinner was a local fish and chips take-out place, filled with a waiting room of locals. With fish and chips, wine and cable TV in the motel, we chowed down watching the details of the Michael Jackson trial.
