Journey to Picton

We slept in today until roughly 9:00am then we were on our way. We where starving about 20 mimutes in to the trip so decided to stop at McDonalds which was a bad mistake haha. Chris decided to order 2 hunger busters not knowing they came with a hot choloate and 2 hashbrowns he also order 2 extra has browns. After I had ordered my meal we ended up with $42 of McDonalds some how haha 5 burgers and over 6 hasbrowns and 3 hot chocloates. We looked like fatties to say the least lol so funny!! We parked and tried to eat all our McDonalds, it was definitly a struggle. We then headed up to Punakaiki where we stopped at the Pancake Rocks and Blow Hole walk. This was amazing!! The waves were rushing into the large cracks and open areas where they were several blow holes. We stood there and watched it for a while. The sound was so loud where the waves came crashing in. After a while walking around we then continued on our way and headed to Cape Faulwind where there was a large Seal Colony. We walked to the Colony and saw about 20-30 Seals in pools and on rocks, it was pretty amazing!! We then headed into Buller where we found the local hospital, Amandas eye had had something in it since last night and was very red and stinging. They couldnt help so we went to the local clicnic which also couldnt help so we bought some eye drops at the local chemist which didnt really help at all either, it just made it all gooey. After running around the town for a good half an hour we decided to make our way to Picton. We headed along Highway 6 to Highway 63 and onto Blemheim as they had a countdown and Warehouse. We bought some more food and snacks and then bought some more gas and pepsi for the Warehouse. We then headed to Picton and continued on past Momorangi Bay where we found a cheap DOC place. It was a windy road to get there and when we got there it was a steep drive down to a very small area. There was only one spot left so we decided to back track a little to a camp site right on the water in Momorangi Bay. We started watching The Great Wall but of course Chris fell asleep again haha.
