More of an overcast and cooler morning, after yesterday’s high of 24, we were back down to 13. Today’s trip was purely to get from A to B a distance of around 300kms up to the ferry terminal at Picton.
As usual we managed many changes of scenery, from long straight stretches of road, to tight hairpin hill roads and cliff roads along the coast.
Rolling Hills
For one stretch the hills were covered, as far as the eye could see with yellow gorse.

About half way along the trip we stopped at a lookout over a seal colony. Previously we had seen the occasional seal on a rock, but here we found well over a hundred of them.

We returned to the hotel we stayed at when we first arrived on the South Island, this time the weather was a little brighter.
