Day One Hundred!

Today marks our 100th day on the road.   Wow!   What a journey we have been on,  and we still have a way to go.  We celebrated by having an action packed day.
We headed out to Cape Palliser.  It was foggy to start,  then it lifted to reveal beautiful views down to the sea.  
At Cape Palliser,  we found the lighthouse and the 200 plus steps up to it.   After the exertion of climbing up to it,  we rewarded ourselves with morning tea on the beach. 
On the way back,  we stopped at Ngaiwi to check out the crazy bulldozers on the beach.  The locals use them to launch and retrieve their boats from Cook Straight.  A lot of them had faces painted on them which was really cute. 
We also stopped to check out the seal colony and watched loads of seals playing in the bay. 
Home for a quick lunch, then we headed into Putangirua Pinnacles.  This was a 1.5 hour walk up an old riverbed to see these amazing pinnacles.   The landscape was amazing,  with these tall pillars and rocky sheer walls.   Very cool.  PB did really well, as it took us a couple of hours to do and he took it all in his stride. 
We ended the day by going back to Lake Onoke for a muck around and then back home for tea.  Great busy day and everyone is well worn out.
