Continuing to head North we reach Kaikoura and decided to spend a couple of nights in a campsite here right by the beach. Seemed a lovely location with nice facilities, it was only when we settled in that we realised about 20 feet directly behind our pitch on the other side of a wire fence is a railway track for goods trains, worse it seems to be just before a signal because the trains wait right behind us revving their engines for 15-30 minutes. Oh yes and when the trains aren't there you realise that just on the other side of the rail track a couple of hundred metres away is a helicopter landing sight with 3 helicopters. The van shakes when they are taking off and the noise makes you wonder if they are actually flying over the van or into it!
All part of the fun! At least they have some internet access!
