New Zealand Day 6

Well, up early and down to the Whale spotting place, and unfortunately because it was grey and overcast (heavy seas) the sailing was cancelled :-(  Bugger - we did have time for breakfast after all!  Come back at 12.45 they say.  So we had a couple of hours to spare, so we went into town to find some breakfast.

Back to the Whale Way station :-) for 12.45 - cancelled again - grrrr!  So we head out to see baby seal pups at play.  Just outside of Kaikoura there is a seal colony.  The mums leave their seal pups in a pool by a waterfall while they go hunting for the day, so we drove up to have a look.  Very cute :-)

This is where the baby seals were playing.  What you can't see is all the baby seals playing beneath the surface.
