A couple of weeks ago, Cowboy reminded me that when we visited NZ and failed to go whale-watching, we swore we would return to remedy the situation. Kaikoura is one of the world's most accessible whale-watching areas.I left it to Cowboy to sort out the transport and get Friday afternoon off work, and I booked us a B&B for a couple of nights. You can fly directly from the hometown to Kaikoura,
