Brief stop!

After a long day involving a wonderful train journey from Christchurch to Picton then the ferry across the Cook Strait (with 3-4m swells!) we arrived in Wellington for just an overnight stay. Our hotel was near the harbour area and as we wondered out to find a restaurant I saw these lovely sea urchins just on the shoreline. I had a real one as a child, that I thought was totally magical and wonderful, it was a good deal smaller than these though!
