Comments on: Nin’s Bin, Kaikoura, New Zealand http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/03/31/nins-bin-kaikoura-new-zealand/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I'm loving reading about all your NZ adventures - so often I wish I could visit the places you've been and now I can (and in some cases already have!). :-) I’m so glad you made it to Kaikoura – Nin’s bin really is iconic, but we’ve never eaten there as (maybe I ought not confess this in case I get mobbed) we have a holiday home (or ‘bach’, in New Zealand terminology) just a few minutes south of Nin’s Bin, and my Dad has a tiny boat and a few craypots he puts out whenever he’s there – so we were never allowed to buy crays!

Thought it would be fun to stop by and check out your blog. So glad that I did too. You’ve got some great stuff. Absolutely amazing photos. New Zealand has always been someplace that I wanted to visit. Now I have even more reasons to go. -Francesca Saw your comment on A Duck in Her Pond last week when the Blonde Duck was gracious enough to let me post for her.
