Today is day four in New Zealand. We are planning on traveling to Stratford this morning, Carolyn has an interview there so in the mean time me and Liza will be touring the area and getting ideas for the days adventure. We first go to the i-Site. They are located all across New Zealand and are basically just information centers. Afterwards we walk the town.
Stratford is also known as the Shakespearian Town. It is home to the largest Glokenspieal. At certain times during the day the clock will ring and the brown doors/windows will open up revealing the human figures in the tower.
After lunch we headed to go see our first lighthouse! This is a lighthouse attached to a sea rescue center off of the Tasman Sea.
While we were at the rescue center we had decided to do a little pua shell hunting. Along the way we ran into several crabs.
This is one of the well known lighthouses in the area. It is Mt. Edmond Lighthouse. Its located just off the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by beautiful landscapes with cattle and sheep.
After lighthouse hunting we ended up at Lucy's Gully. It is an isolated mtn area that contains a lot of Kiwi birds.
This is my favorite photo thus far of my New Zealand experience. This picture I took off of Oakura beach around 7pm. I do love the beaches here, there not very busy and still very soothing. This was our first time watching the locals surf.
After our traveling for the day, we decided to go get "tea", thats what the local New Zealand call diner. Carolyn took us to a place in Inglewood where we got the fish, the fish they use is called Gurnard. With the fish and chips we got Ginger Beer ( a local soda similar to Ginger Ale), and also pineapple fritters (fried pineapple slices). We brought the food back and watched Journey to the Center of the Earth at Carolyns.
