Mt Cook and Kaikoura

A beautiful gorge between Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura.



There's a seal colony near Kaikoura.  When the tide is out you can only get close to the outgoing seals like this guy



Another seal at Kaikoura



Here's Vernon at the seal colony.  All the seals are avoiding him, but there's some interesting shelled creatures on the rocks that were too slow to get away.



Alison takes another look at the rocks at low tide



Here's Vernon going by on the way from Kaikoura back to Nelson, riding a Triumph Trophy 1200.  Alison's BMW F/650 is parked there while she takes the picture

 Back to Nelson and home
