Heading north of Christchurch

Sunday morning we headed out for a fairly long drive to our next location. As we began our drive, we had low lying clouds through the hills.

Eventually we made it to the coast and we found a couple of coves where we pulled off the road and found quite a few seals. They were just below us on the rocks. We even saw a mother nursing her baby.

It was quite windy with some nice surf.

Seals on the move!
We counted over 30 seals in this specific cove.
We did see some sun!

We finally got to our stop for the night. What a beautiful place we have for the next two nights! It’s an eco lodge – with 8 rooms and common areas including a full kitchen.

Highly recommended!
Beautiful gardens
I’ve never seen hydrangeas grow this big!
Covered deck for enjoying the evening

We took advantage of the kitchen to cook some chicken and meet some of the other guests. Some were from the Netherlands, Key West, San Francisco and other countries. It was nice to share stories of where we had travelled and get ideas for future stops.

Tomorrow we make a day trip….
