Moeraki boulders!

(backtracking a few days now that we have picture technology!)

The Moeraki boulders were definitely a highlight! Perched in the surf in a line -- only large ones are left because smaller ones all got carried away over the years.

It was hard to get a photo of the whole line without people in it -- I snuck a quick one in at an opportune moment because we only do point-and-shoot, but there was a guy with a fancy-dancy camera (and to those of you who own them, please know I say that in a nice/jealous way!) who was waiting for ages to get the shots he wanted.

The boulders come out from the cliff, and have a bit of a honeycomb pattern on them from their crystal-ish structure. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moeraki_Boulders for a better explanation than I can give.
