Have spent the last 2 days camping at Kaka point, about 8 kms from nugget head - still in the catlins. yesterday was sea lion day, in fact i nearly stood on a sea lion on my way down to the beach - not a good idea- sea lions are large can be aggressive and definitely (understandably) do not like to be disturbed when taking a nap. I beat a hasty retreat. walked to nugget head lighthouse and looked down from a safe distance a sea lions in the bay below, also saw fur seals.
today stated heading east to Dunedin, but it has been raining very hard, so I hardly stopped, thus arrived a day early. am staying in yha. have to organise the packing up of my bike so will be here for a couple of days and will then go to the otago peninsular for a couple of days before my flight next Monday.
Dunedin is the Edinburgh of the south so a fitting place to fly back from, i cycled down Princes street to get here, but will explore more tomorrow.
