We also saw some pups so we thought this was the "pup pools" but we were wrong!
Just after a four buliding town called calarence with the ocean on the right side! On the left side is a pull of in a corner is a path along a stream to a waterfall! The first thing that I saw was a pup swimming in the water playing with a pink flower! Manfred saw a bridge that we walked under!
As we walked along the stream we saw more and more pups. We saw one grooming himself and was very happy to pose for the camrea!
We made our way back along the river one of the pups Came so close that I could of touched it!! So cute!
The pups come up here to be safe while the mothers go hunting for fish, and learn how to swim and fight play!
This was a highlight!!
After the seal pups we made our way to Nelson!
Nelson
in Nelson Manfred started to fell under the weather so we checked into a backpackers early so he could sleep! I then went and visited inga a friend and mother to be!
She recommend that we go to the golden bay the north point of the south island!
We walked up to the center of NZ.
The next day we started on our way up to the north end of the south island.
We stayed in a cute sea side motel at Takaka, and visited the pupu springs the clearest water that I have ever seen!
Farewell spit is the longest stretch of sand and keeps growing thanks to the coast of the north and south island.
Wekakura beach is a beautiful place, but the tide was out and the wind was blowing around 60mph so building huge sand dunes and it was like going skiing! Alought not quite to manfred's likeing! We when made our way to a cave, I sat on a rock to dump sand out of my shoe and Manfred went to take a picture of the cave. He quickly came out of it when he heard a growl! He then saw the sea lion well hidden along the back wall he then took a picture of it, and what he did not see was that the seal had just given birth! So look closely!
We also got some good sand pictures now have to get the camrea fixed :(
The next day we headed to Picton for our ferry the following day! We stayed in the sequoia lodge a Backpackers with a hot tube free internet and Chocolate pudding!!! After dinner Hyper I got to get my energy out at the playground!!!
Next day on the ferry to Wellington!
