Early wake up call on the straitsman at 5:30am quick shower and back down to the car we were on the road to timaru by 6:30am. Driving down the coast was fairly uneventful the roading is mostly fixed and there are still some long smooth straights to wind the volvo up to get past the car, freight and milk trucks that came off the ferry in front of us. Breakfast of coffee plus bacon and egg pie at the kaikoura BP not so bad for a pie from a servo, then straight on to Timaru and the Ship Hop brewery.

On arrival we discovered to our disappointment that Ship Hop is only open on Friday evenings the shop was deserted looking through the windows revealed a small brewery with attacked retail and tasting facilities.

Walking down the road a bit further we discovered a Speights Ale House. Nice lamb salad and two pints of their IPA and i felt restored.
on to Invercargil tomorrow to pick up Skinners dehydrated food for the next leg (I have Coppelias already in the car) and have a look at how back country make their meals up.
