The day after

So, because we get up so early in our house and being at Moeraki we just had to get up and see what was happening at the wharf. Many bleary eyed people were getting themselves aboard the charter fishing boats. It was a perfect still morning and although cold, the sun was almost up. We then went for a walk up the hill and around the back of the town. After breakfast the whole family headed for the Katiki Lighthouse and discovered a penguin hospital. One adult penguin was in the wards about to be released so we saw a Hoiho up close which was a first for all of us. When then descended to the seal colony lookout and watched the seals flopping about in the water and fighting on the rocks. Great fun.

Of course we had to visit the boulders as you do. Then off to Waimate to see bees and got a tiny jar of perfect honey... and a quick visit with Marie-Anne in Timaru. It was a perfect day to be travelling up the country. Sunny and not too hot, still and stunning.
