Deborahs journey
From Dunedin we left and headed south through the Catlins to Curio bay right at the bottom right hand corner of the south island. THe catlins is mainly farm land and there are only a few small towns that we passed through. Its fairly flat with some hills and very green and reminded me of home. We stopped at nuggets point to walk to a lighthouse and to sea the seal colony here. After watching these we headed further down the road and stopped to walk through some sand dunes to the sea to see some sealions. There were only 5 on the beach sleeping and playing. not as many as i saw before. THen we headed down to Curio bay. This is a very small village that surives on farming and the summer season. After be dropped at our hostel a lady took us all on a walk around the beach and cliff. This finished with us stopping at the petrified forest to see some yellow eyed penguins. there were three coming back to their nests for the night. petrified forest is where trees have been turned into wood by volcanic activity many years ago.
In the evening we got driven to a small restuarant which has a deal with the bus so we could have a roast dinner for $8. it was roast lamb and quite nice had some desert as well.
