At the bottom of the North Island there are a few winter seal colonies. The males haul up for a rest, safe from the local population of orca. It's a flat 3.5km walk from the car park and we went on a sunny late winter day with a picnic.
Cook Strait with a ferry coming to Wellington and the Kaikoura Mts in the South Island. Destination Red Rocks on the right.
Plenty of chunky seals hanging out on the rocks.
We were both limping along with various ailments but we were doing ok until both my soles began to peel off on the way back. Made it back to the car with a teensy bit connecting on each boot. Another reason to travel with a roll of 100mph tape (and a couple of cable ties).
