The Catlin's!

Today was an interesting day.... Some of my friends and I took a day trip down from Dunedin to the Catlins! Its is beautiful down there, we drove along the coast and stopped at Nugget point, Pukaterie falls, and Cathedral caves. Nugget point was awesome, we took a little hike out to a lighthouse that had stunning views of the cliffs and a seal coolony. We then went to the falls where we waded in the pools, climbed up the falls and crawled in and out of a rotted tree stump. We then went to Cathedral caves. It was this beautiful set of caves that were carved out by sea water! They are only accessible during low tide and we were super lucky to get there just when it was low tide. We had to wade through the water a bit but it was so worth it! It was awesome. Then came the interesting part. Just as we were about to leave, Catherine locked the keys in the car! We didn't know what to do because we were in the middle of no where! There was no cell service so Catherine and I had to hitch a ride from some random Canadians to the nearest town so we could call a lock smith to come break into the car! After two hours of waiting and chatting with the lady that runs Cathedral caves finally someone showed up to let us into the car and we were able to drive home :). All in all it was a crazy eventful day. One for the books!

  2. Fabulous photos and you look like you are enjoying yourself! Glad to see it! The beach looks great. Hard to believe the water is so cold, but then again there is a huge sheet of ice as a Southern neighbor! Keep the reports coming. I love them.
