Kiakoura beach




We met up with the Rima active NZ group and took a bus ride down to Kiakoura beach, a hangout for furry NZ seals. We put on wet suits and snorkeled, hoping to catch a seal in the water. The seals stuck to their idle positions on their rocks. However, one of our snorkelers with gloves picked up a couple of Abalone and our guide sliced it up and we ate it raw on the beach--you can see this in one of my pictures. The other two pictures are of the beach, one with Anne and the other of a tractor being used to pull a boat out of the water and getting it off the beach! Our Rima group consists of 14 people, a mix from US, Canada and one from Norway.
