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
