Well last night we went down to the beach at Timaru, along with quite a few other people to view the penguins as they arrive each night in this bay at dusk.

The evening sky was so colourful and it was mild with a warm wind. 2 men were dragging a net along the foreshore in the water to see what they could catch, mainly medium sized crabs, from what I could see.

This is me looking out for penguins. We stayed on the beach for an hour and a half but the penguins didn’t come in, just our luck! Never mind.( Its like the disappearing moose in Newfoundland)

We woke up this morning to much colder weather and rain. 12c what a shock!

We drove South to Dunedin. On the way we stopped at the boulders to take some more pictures. The tide was out this time and it was raining. Hope you like my photos

We are in the Best Western555 on Bayview at Dunedin for the next 8 days. Today it has rained non stop all day.
