Ngawi - Cape Palliser
They call them "New Zealand Fur Seals" but they are actually sea lions.
On the way back from Ngawi we stopped so they could show me "whitebait" - a little fishy that they "chop the head and tail off and make potato-like patties" - it's a joke you see... they do make the patties, but they include the entire fishy - cuz it's only this big:
I'm not a fish eater anyway - so no, I definitely did not eat any whitebait patty things. *cringe*
They have these little net-cages that they leave out there for them to be washed into by the ocean.

"I made it through my first week of sole charge.
After a very serious lecture on respect on Wednesday afternoon my students chilled a bit. I was exhausted by the end of the week, but an early night on Friday and a late morning on Saturday proved just what I needed.
The kids were well behaved today and I'm actually feeling pretty good about the next week and a half.
So never mind my whining - I was just tired and a bit grumpy :)
I've made plans to go down to Kaikoura - taking a 4 day weekend - from October 22-25th. Whale watching! Wahoo! Working out the details now, but hopefully on Friday I'll be saying 'Thar she blows!'
Went Sunday to an animal SancTuary, will post some pictures soon."
