Today we drove through an area called the Catlins. At Nugget Point we saw more Fur Seals, but no sea lions; we saw two penguins. We stopped to see Matai Falls and the railway tunnel that was dug by hand. The highlight of the day was at Curio Bay where we saw three penguins, one of whom got out of the water and walked right up in front of us.
We then drove to Invercargill to the Kackling Kea hostel where we stayed overnight in a dorm room. There we met Marco, a Swiss airline attendant, who recognized us from Mt Cook. He joined us for the side trip to Stewart Island.
There are lots of very large hedges along the roads and separating farm fields. They are kept very neatly trimmed. Two pictures show a hedge, a machine to trim them and good view of the saw mounted on the machine.
We got a lot of nice views today; enjoy.
Wow these pictures are amaizing postcard quality
