Yes more beautiful beaches and cold, cold winds.
This beach is home to a colony of the worlds rarest sea lion, the
Pakake
  Even more luck as we saw a wildlife guide, who lets
us tag along for free with her group and we got to see a blue penguin in it's
nesting box. In 20 years - this guide had never seen one of these penguins come
ashore in the daytime until the little cutie hopped along the beah right in
front of us.
 A marked difference in climate between North and
South island; even the school uniform here of virtually ankle length kilts
highlights the fact that it is not warm especially considering this is the
height of summer!!!
