The Catlins

11 - 13 Mar

The Catlins is a stretch of coast on the way from Dunedin to Invercargill. It has a lot of natural sceneries, wildlife, interesting rock formations and other stuff.

I leave Dunedin on Saturday morning. Roland joins me but Matt decides to stay in Dunedin and chill out. He plans to travel mostly by bus from now on. We catch a bus to Balclutha about 90 km from Dunedin and start cycling from there.

The weather is still bad, overcast with showers most of the time and quite cold but have one beautiful sunny day on the way to Curio Bay. The road is quite hilly but the views from the hill tops are amazing. We see some penguins, dolphins, seals and sea lions in Nugget Point and Curio Bay. There's also ancient petrified forrest in Curio Bay.
