Catlins Coast

So it was my last weekend in Queenstown! A few of us decided to go to the Castlins Forest and see some new sites! We headed off  it was Me, Richie, Pete and our buddie Ian!


After Driving for 2 hours we came across this! 2 guys were driving towing a trailer with a car on it... the axle on the trailer snapped flipping the trailer followed by flipping the car that they were in!... Everyone was okay the passenger was a little beat up but okay!... So it looked like that was it for us moving forward for a while seeing as this mess was blocking the whole road!

NOT! We got a couple guys together and flipped the car that was towing the trailer then unstrapped the car from the trailer and throw that sucker over into the bushes. And like that the road was opened back up again! Leaving just the car that was on the trailer!

From there we went to the farm(some dirt jumps along the way) and picked up Kate and Samantha to join on our Catlins adventure!... adding them to the car filled the car up! I said ill go in the trunk haha! it was a called out to be 45min drive!.. 2 hours later we arrive at the coast! I couldn't wait to get out! 

One of the things to see in the Catlins is this cool little place called Nugget Point! 

Then the next stop was these Cathedral caves which was closed! and trespassers will be shot? There was a a sign with a man with i gun! ha So i said i want to meet this man who's going to shot us! haha there was no man! But we walked quite a ways to get to the caves cause the gate was closed!

We finally arrived at the beach! 
Me and Pete took off running cause we could see the tide was coming in! We wanted to get in the cave before the water came up to much!

Me and Pete just made it in! Richie wasn't looking and jumped off the rocks that kept you out of the water only to be engulfed by a wave up to his waist!( he was wearing his pants with is phone in his pocket!) Bummer!

This was the best shot i got while in there. It was real hard to try and get a good picture while at the same time the tide was coming in quick!

I had on shorts so on the way out snapped this one of the cave getting over taken by water!

From there i timed it just right so that i could run on the sand while everyone else took the high road back into the beach!
