Jan 26th: Guess what - another very hot day! The boys did an hour of schoolwork in the motorhome and then we and our friends left the campsite and headed a little way north along the coast to the Moeraki boulders. These are amazing spherical lumps of rock on the beach, uncovered at low tide. They are in the mudstone cliffs and are revealed as the cliff erodes, and then weather away once the sea acts on them. Some of the smaller ones look like dragon eggs (so the boys said) and then they crack open. They are incredible. There were about 20 of us clambering over them and then a coach turned up and it got busy for a while util it was time for their whistle-stop tour to move on. We spent a couple of hours there in all. We headed north to Oamaru for lunch and some shopping, and then arrived home in Waimate about 3.30pm. By bedtime it had cooled down to a more pleasant 20 degrees.
