This morning (Sunday) we got a local bus and went down to island bay….we were headed to Red Rocks to see Fur Seals
. We didn’t realize that it would be the most beautiful day of our lives. I’ve never seen such beautiful beaches with the sun hitting the water making the prettiest shade of bright blue I’ve ever seen in my life. The green of the plants almost put me in a trance. The sun was so pretty shining on all different colourful surfaces, but my favourite part was the waves crashing against the rocks creating the most beautiful white splashes of water. The waves were huge, definitely the biggest waves I’ve ever seen…and after 3 hours of walkin
g and stopping every 30 sec to take pictures, we finally looked over and there was a seal, resting right near the path. When we started to take closer looks we realized that there were seals all over the place, they were just hard to spot because they were laying all in the rocks. It was difficult to spot them but once we did there were about a hundred of them laying all over the place. They wer
e about 5 feet long and very fat. They made sounds just like you would expect from a seal. It was just so neat because none of us had ever seen a seal just laying in their natural environments, only in zoos. As we reached the end of our walk, and before we could even turn around to head the other way,
something weird in the sky caught my eye, it wasn’t a cloud but it was white, way up but in the distance. A big gust of wind came and cleared the clouds and we realized that they were mountains of the south island way off in the distance. It’s so strange because the north and south islands on NZ are separated by about 35 miles of water. The fact that we could see the snowy mountains was amazing, it was very rare, and only on the clearest of days was it possible. This was truly the most amazing day of NZ, and for the first time, I actually had my breathe taken away several times. In the picture below, if you look closely right aboce the rocks sticking out of the water, you can see the snowy mountains of the south island!!!
