Moeraki Boulders






Yet another stop on the long ride home didn’t sound like much fun, but we were hungry and restless, so we didn’t stage a coup. We stopped at the Moeraki Boulders, which, for all practical purposes, is and looked like a tourist trap. But, it was pretty spectacular and the first beach (well, since Manly) that I’ve gotten to explore.

Lunch consisted of flounder, full, fresh flounder, and the examination of some kiwi meals—spaghetti on toast? Really? It turns out it is exactly what it says it is, and is a common breakfast. Spaghetti on toast. that we knew and they all spelled it in the way that we are acc.

After that, we hit the beach. The Moeraki Boulders are some pretty cool round boulders that are slowly working their way to the sea. We found all sorts of cool sea life, including chitons and sea stars, and two yet unidentified things, and a dead blue penguin. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=62967&id=500764078&l=cbae7


As always, I was watching people and one of my favorite things was of an elderly couple trying to make the boulders look like the woman tossed a bocci ball. My guess it was for a lawn bowling club.
