(i intentionally ignore invercargill - were i spent a night before and after the catlins - because with a name like that and nothing to do - it deserves to be ignored).
not much to tell, area with great views, many wildlife and a hostel i was the only one attending (even the owner checked me in through the phone and asked me to leave the money on the bed)
i missed some of the places due to the tide, it still surprises me that there are places you can only go in specific hours, that change daily, because they are flooded on high tide...
-- straight to the pictures --
on the road:
the black sheep of the family:
a water-dog:
i had to post this:
wind beaten forest:
read yourself:
magnificent waves up 10 meters of cliffs!
the longest sea-weed i could imagine:
a real seal:
a more cooperating seal:
dumb goat:
on the way, i needed to stop aside and let some sheep pass:
so i waited:
and finally:
i know who will laugh at that...
cute yellow-eyed penguins:
that reminded me of a scene from an old game, can't remember which:
rock nuggets:
bored, really bored, waiting for low tide...
dogs, nothing much, just surrounded the car and didn't let me go. i think they have mistaken it for a sheep:
a sea lion, amazing beast:
a sea lion, just before it barks at me, and driving me away. weren't they supposed to roar?
