Dunedin to Moeraki is a short drive. We hit Moeraki about 1.30, even stopping for a shop in a supermarket in Dunedin. Were having to be careful now, because we ditch the car soon and fly back to Rotorua for Christmas.
Today has been cold. We wandered in to Moeraki for a glass of something refreshing when we arrived (lemon, lime and bitters is the drink of the moment) then we headed off to the yellow-eyed penguin colony ( one of two reasons we are here: the other is Fleurs Place, a cracking restaurant in an old fish packing shed in the village. I booked it 6 months ago!)
The yellow-eyed penguin is the most endangered species if penguin. We have struggled to see them so far, but here is easy. They don't mind humans, done carefully. We kept to the paths, and got some lovely images hopefully.
Dinner was "in" (fleurs isn't open on a Tuesday) followed by coffee in our studio room overlooking the Moeraki boulders: theview which adorned our copy of the Rough Guide.
Sarah spotted the attached abandoned toy on the beach. It bears a passing resemblance to JoJo, which our girls will realise is a very important part of Pippas life. She wants to bring it home. However, it seems to have spent several tides in the littoral zone....
