Day 54 - New Years Day 2011! (Saturday 1st January 2011)

The first day of 2011 started pretty hectic for Chaggie as they had to be out of The Plum by 12.00pm. We woke up at around 09.30, which was a bit of a struggle after the night before but we had to finish clearing up the place before leaving.

With The Plum now tidy and clean, we paid for our stay and headed to the beach. We were hoping the girls we met in Bark Bay (who we think said they would be in Kaiteriteri on New Years day) would be there, annoyingly, there was no where to park. At all. So, typically we could not find out whether they were there or not so we just headed to Eleanor's in Motueka.

Before we got to Eleanor's however, we went to check into our backpackers which Eleanor had kindly sorted out for us, just for the one night before our departure to Kaikoura tomorrow. It was called the 'Happy Apple Backpackers', and was very nice! So after checking in we made our way to Eleanor's, which is 5 minutes down the road.

Eleanor, Pip and Andreas had invited us round already so that we could all sit down to a lamb roast in the evening! Perfect! We had a good laugh during the day before eating a fantastic lamb roast!
We watched Godzilla after the food, which re-kindled a few childhood memories/nightmares!

We headed back to Happy Apple at around 11 and crashed out, a long, long drive tomorrow to Kaikoura awaits!
