Stopped for some waves crashing on the rocks.
Then we stopped to see the big seal colony. There were lots of young pups playing in the water while the moms sunned on the rocks. They were a hoot to watch.
We back tracked a little to go to the Ohau water falls which is about a 10 minute walk in. At the base of the water fall were 5 seal pups playing. We got to watch a couple of them start to make their way back down to the ocean. Quite fascinating.
On the coastal route and through much of NZ the train tracks and the roads run close to parallel. Lots of train tunnels through the mountains.
After checking into our bed and breakfast and making sure George liked the room we headed out for a hike at the end of the peninsula.
We saw another seal colony and lots of ocean views. As much as I love living in the mountains there is something magical about being on the coast.
Walkway up to where the walk started. We were on top of the cliff with great views.
