One of the things that had prompted me to want to go to Kaikoura were childhood memories of playing in the rock pools there. We'd stay in Kaikoura on occasion, & no favourite toy was safe from being taken to play in the rock pools with me.
I seem to recall a couple of dolls suffering permanent blindness after the mechanisms that allowed their eye's to open & shut rusted.....
I wondered if my adult eye's would see the same fascination & wonder as my childhood eye's had seen.
If you take the time to look down & explore with a child's eye's, the seemingly rocky grey shore isn't as grey as it first might appear.

There are h-u-g-e rocks pools...
and smaller rock pools.
Then there are very small rock pools...
In very large rocks!
There is lichen...
and limpets!
And if you pause a moment & look very carefully - you can even find a small, well disguised fish or two!
So very 'Kiwi' - a planting of NZ native plants.
