Seperation Point in Totarunui

We did a day hike of about six hours (to & from) to see how our bodies were going to work of long hikes. This hike was label easy (or at least moderate), hmmmmm! We have decided that the multiday full-pack, where we would be packing in tent and bags, is probably not something we are going to be able to do:(, especially on a more difficult trail. Don't get me wrong, we will do plenty of hiking, but just days hikes like this one from a base camp.

We did see so much, dolphins, Pukeko (cool birds), seals, and a birds we have not identified yet. The flora is just fabulous as well and the beaches are to die for. Holly went swimming at the same time we saw the dolphins though they did not come in to swim with her. Later in the day we came across a guy from Germany that we had seen on that beach and he said they did come in very close when he was swimming, he was very excited about this, and I don't blame him.

The hike was really great and it did wear us out, but it is a great way to get worn out.

So, we are heading further south now, towards glaciers and other adventures.

I feel that these posts tonight are lightening fast updates and that I am leaving out so much, because I am, we'll just have to talk about this stuff face-to-face;)
