I am going to be using the words - amazing, astounding and beautiful a lot for a while.
The south island of New Zealand has some of the best natural features of anywhere in the globe in an extremely compact space. Fjordlands? Forget Norway, head for Te Anau. Glaciers? Go to Fox or Franz Josef. Outstanding Rock Formations - go to Punakaiki.
Wild colonies of seals by the roadside? Kaikouri is you destination!
This was a great surprise for us, one of the things we hadn't researched and had the fortune to stop at. We were following the ocean road on the East Coast and simply stopped at a lookout for a break and a view.
We got out of the car, looked over the water and said... hey... there's a seal out there... and another one... and another!! Then we realised what we were looking at and went a little crazy watching the antics of this purely wild creature so close by.
They were noisy, and they stank, and they frolicked in the rock pools with every wave that came in. Amazing!
