Weather Takes A Turn

Wednesday 1st July 2009
Day 4

I am yet to mention the weather. Mainly because it has been stunning. Yes - a little chilly (below zero chilly) but clear blue skies. However, today we awoke to damp and mist. This led us to the easy decision of skipping the Sounds and heading to the Catlins.

All it took was driving over the top of a range to bring back the blue in the sky. The scenery also changed dramatically into lush green farmland and rolling hills. It was like driving from the Swiss Alps to rural Wales in two days.

We landed in Curio Bay, famous for its ancient fossil sea bed and rare yellow-eyed penguins that waddle in out of the sea at dusk.
