Condensation, not rain. David and I arose after a restless nights' sleep to discover wet sleeping bags inside and out.
Picked up sarah about 8:30, at bakery by 9, hot springs by 10.
Clouds broke and minimally ozone defracted sun was hot and burned skin literally in minutes of continuous exposure. The air remained cool for the duration of the day, keeping the 36C degree mineral enriched hot springs worth their while... and money. Soaking wet, top to bottom, we then reminded Sarah to avoid dunking her head again. She panicked at the prospect of meningicocal viruses. A serious threat, but still a good chance to get Sarah all spun up.
By late afternoon we arrived in Kaikoura, had pizza, walked the beach awhile and found a free Dept. of Conservation campground. Nothing is free in New Zealand. We got lucky.
