South Island Day 3

We seem to be so busy that finding time to sort through these photos has been hard.  Anyway, on our first morning at Westport we drove to the start of the Cape Foulwind walk to see the seals.  At this stage Cyclone Debbie was bearing down on New Zealand and, with the West Coast being notorious for its wet weather, we were expecting the worst.   Although it was windy with salt mist it was a pleasant walk.  Looking it up on google it looks as though it was just under 4 kms each way and was an easy track.  We walked on past the seal colony to Tauranga Bay car park where there was an enterprising lady with a mobile coffee shop selling not only coffee but tea, hot chocolate and light meals.

While enjoying our coffees we were joined by some Weka.
