Shag Point

After my early morning photo session, I went back to the campground at 6.30 and tried to sleep a little bit more.
Around 8.30 I got up and had a nice breakfast. Then it was time to hit the road again. The weather forecast for today is bad. Much wind and rain around everywhere in the south...
But the wind has a big plus, it usually never rains for a long time when it is blowing so much. And that’s what I got. A lot of wind, horrible wind and a few showers here and there. I tried to anyway stop on the way to Dunedin and see some stuff.

The first stop was at a seal colony at Shag point. I saw a lot of seals laying around and doing notice. With the wind you don’t smell them, that’s really nice!

The next stop was at Matanaka to see some old farmhouses.
I was surprised, that I could actually walk into them as well. It was nice to see.
Then I drove to the Evansdale Cheese Factory to buy some cheese.

I can say the wind was getting worse now. 😬
I anyway stopped at the Puketeraki lookout.
The view was amazing and luckily I didn’t need to walk anywhere from there. All walking tracks I just passed as it’s too dangerous to go on a walk through a forest or up a hill today.

After that the weather was so bad, that I decided to go directly to the campground and skip the rest of the Sightseeing-Tour for today!
Good decision!
It was horrible throughout the whole afternoon and evening. And it got really cold as well 😬
Not nice!
But it was nice to have a lazy afternoon today!
I just hope the weather is better tomorrow, but it’s not looking like it. 🙈Read more
