Tuesday, 5
The weather predictions for the next few days are bad. Lots
of snow and rain but as we head north, it seems like we might still be just
ahead of it.
While it s overcast, it’s
not raining so we stop at Punakaiki and with an incoming tide, the blowholes
are performing with spectacular shows of spray and the noise is incredible.
A cheeky Weka tries to find food in my camera bag and drags
it round the table.
Then an overseas visitor got really excited as she hadn’t
expected to see a kiwi and asked me to take her photo with the Weka. I did try
to explain but suspect she still thinks it was a Kiwi.
As it still wasn’t raining, but getting greyer by the
minute, we stopped at the Seal Colony further up the coast and got to see heaps
of seals.
There were lots of young ones feeding off their mothers.
Then it started to rain and continued to get heavier the
further we went. We have decided to cross tomorrow as the weather is set to
stay around for a few days and we may as well be on the other side of Cook
Strait while we can.
