Pancakes anyone?




No not for breakfast, pancake rocks. Today we are heading south along the west coast. So after a quick visit to another mountain lake (beayiful but buggy) we drove along these basically empty roads past farms of all sorts in these nice river valleys. And a great river too. I'm sure it had great fishing and rafting/kayaking by the looks of things. As we got closer to the coast the low clouds decided to wash us abit. But just as we got to Pukaiki it lifted and we got to check them out. Really cool layered rocks, carved by the surf over thousands of years. Then a bit of lunch down on a beach and a bit of sunning (the clouds moved back in just as we were heading back to the van) before we drove down to the Franz Josef Glacier. We are hoping for a clear day tomorrow for some exploring, though we were teased by a few distant glimpses of snow capped peaks thru the clouds. Good times.
