Hiking The Catlins by Noreen


We continued our travels south to The Catlins and quaint little town of Papatowai. While there we trekked through more sheep fields to see Jack's blowhole, hiked to the beautiful Purakaunui Falls,visited a beach at low tide to see the Cathedral caves, hiked to Nugget point with it's seal colony and historic lighthouse and turned back from another hike because an annoyed fur seal was blocking the path. Honestly, it was!

Outstanding shots. But I can't believe you let a cranky seal stop you. Maybe his skin was dry or he was having a bad flipper day.
