But the cool thing about the South Island is there is all sorts of epic stuff to check out right by the side of the road, so we did the full tourist day and it is taking us forever to get there.
For some reason all these paddocks were on fire? Silas thought it would be a good idea for everyone to get their boards off the roof! But all we ended up with was this cheesy boy band style photo.
We stopped in Omaru for Lunch and everyone was blown away by how old the place is. Coming from Mt Maunganui where anything older than 5 years is ripped down to build apartments, it was cool to see whole streets with buildings that looked like you had stepped back 100 years in time.
Just about anywhere along the coast road you can stop and see hordes of seals lounging around on the rocks and if you are the groms, annoy the heck outa them.
We met up with RPM sales monkey Mark who was traveling in the opposite direction. After driving the length of NZ on his own, he was pretty stoked to have some company.

These rocks at Moeraki are incredibly popular with the tourist types. An annoying Euro lady got all pissy at us for dominating this set of stones too long while taking photos, even though there was another bunch of boulders exactly the same about 10m further down the beach.
Word is these boulders formed in a similar way to process of how pearls grow, which is why they are perfectly round. Zennor was way too cool, and thought the boulders were lame!
It was full tide so access was a little tricky but no problem for Kara with her long stilts!We were waiting in the camper for Silas who was taking forever. I thought he was probably taking some more dorky portraits, but he was actually in the cafe giving the manager a lecture about charging people $2 to access the beach.
