Warm-up Music For Basketball

South of the South, the Catlins

DSC05094 After skirting the east coast of South Island, not surprisingly, we had to get to the end. The area most in southern New Zealand (if you do not count the islands) is called the Catlins. All the people we had talked we were described as very wild with beautiful scenery. This is true even if we met we have places that seemed more wild adventures in the past. This coast very cut is known for its rich wildlife and its danger to mariners.

We passed through Port Molyneux (funny name is not it?) Where a meal on the coast is always appreciated. When I say meals, there is no question of another restaurant or grilling, it is more a picnic with the specialties that you must begin to know (bread, cheese, ham and other ... ) but that day, we were awarded with a good sweet and a good chicken pot pie taste of cognac not bad at all. Then we stopped at Nugget Point. DSC05093 DSC05095 DSC05103 I see the smart kids who already think the fried chicken ;-) but it's actually rocks that form small islands on the coast and yellow with bright light around . DSC05111 is also the only place in New Zealand which meets the sea lions, elephant seals and sea lions. We saw only the sea lions, but they are always so beautiful when they slip into the water. We're determined to try to see sea lions in the future!

The kings of the sea on the beach

DSC05123 The King the beach is a big animal fur who loves to swim and wallow on the beach but still it is not me, it's the sea lion :-) We really wanted to see them because they are on the south coast . We spent an evening walk on a beach famous for it but to no avail. We turned around after two miles and after casting a glance with binoculars. The next day a lady from the information center of the corner we certify that there are but we must go after the end of the beach and that females are hidden under the sand to not get too hot. It must also be said that this is not DSC05152 la meilleure saison car toutes les femelles et les mâles sont partis pour se reproduire dans une île plus au Sud (à 700km, soit deux-trois jours de nage pour les plus rapides). Sur ces indications nous allons à la baie d’à côté ( cannibal baie, ça promet !) pour arriver directement au bout de la plage.

Quelle surprise de tomber sur une femelle en effet bien cachée.

Nous suivons ensuite un groupe guidé (en espions) qui se faufile dans les dunes pour aller de l’autre côté. Nous voyons alors un gros mâle qui dort profondément. DSC05209

Nous then look in the waves where two other people have fun surfing. They are really impressive in their size (some 150 kg for females and 300 for larger male) and agility. We return through the dunes, and there a large male out of the sea standing on its feet.

DSC05138 What elegance compared to sea lions. Indeed, they are straight on their four legs, very noble, and are more likely to walk the earth with their cousins. Marilyn would like to draw but these gentlemen do not want to take a break.

A tire change later (the poor were very tired) DSC05153 we go again on the road to see a petrified forest.

On the road, there DSC05156 Niagara Falls. Yes, it is the same name as the others, just a small notation on the card that mentions "of NZ. They are giant! At least 50 cm ...

Good and well off again and see those trees. It is a good layer of flat black rocks that contain fossilized tree parts. This geological stretches nearly 20 km, is huge! A walk in the rain to see the most beautiful pieces, we look at the rocks up close, too close for that matter.

Yes, someone will whistle, and then we see a yellow-eyed penguin (extremely rare and shy) is right behind us and waits on a rock that we were pushing for return home. We disagree and see it jump from rock to rock to go to the beach houses buissons.Cette few individuals and also welcomes volunteers to educate the public to minimize disturbance. We will meet later someone who participated.

DSC05205 Nightfall we few miles away to settle down for the night. What DSC05169 windy corner!

Trees are also lying in a flag. Tossed all night (even sheep cling to their meadow) at night will still be restorative.

Marilyne also draw the waves crashing on the rocks of the southern most tip of New Zealand called "point slope". DSC05189 DSC05191
