Day 5 - Ferry to Pichton and Kaikoura

From Wellington we took a ferry across the Cook Strait to the South Island.  We were supposed to go whale watching that afternoon but it was canceled due to the conditions on the water.  Instead we checked out some seal colonies and went on a pretty hike along the coast.  The wind was so intense on the hike that at one point I thought I was going to get blown off the side of the trail...for some reason no one else was doing this very popular hike that day...
Ferry ride to the South Island



Lots of seals in their pups that are probably only days old.

more moms and pups.




This was on our windy hike at Kaikoura.  I thought we were going to get blown away.  
Another windy day
