The Moeraki Boulders

After the Takiroa rock caves, we reached Oamaru after a fashion. Not seeing any interesting restaurant which sells take-away, we, or rather Robin, ended buying a McChicken Meal from a McDonald's drive-through. I usually need and do take a long time in deiciding my food, so I wasn't able to make up my mind to place an order in time.

Therefore, I only managed to get a banana milk shake (coz Singapore Mc's dun sell milk shakes anymore and M'sia dun sell banana flavoured ones). Thankfully, I did get these sausage rolls from the petrol station earlier when we had to refuel.

Arriving at the beach where the Moeraki boulders are, we first made a stop at the cafe's carpark. Seeing another carpark further down & nearer the beach, I thought we were at the wrong carpark. Only later did I realise that one should park at the cafe-aka-souvenir shop carpark. It's actually on a cliff overlooking the Moeraki Boulders and there are stairs leading down to the beach and boulders directly.

But since I directed Robin to the other carpark instead, we had to walk along the beach to reach the boulders. It wasn't a bad walk by half though. Long expanse of beach with slight wind and great wave music. Not too many people. And lots of shells to pick.

I just love the sea. If not for the long drive to Otago, would have loved to sit atop the boulder looking and listening to the sea the whole day. As it was, stayed till the sun was almost setting.
