South Island, West Coast Punakaiki

Our second night on the West Coast is at Punakaiki to see the pancake rocks. The limestne has weathered into wht looks like piles of thick pancakes. When the wind blows and the tide is up, the sea surges through the caverns below and booms up in the blowholes. We are again fortunate to have a clear day and we watch the sun set over the rocks and then walk back to our little cabin by the sea at the Punakaiki Cottage Motel.
