Pancakes
I have to confess I didn't find the drive from Franz to Punakaiki terribly memorable today, except that there were some great coastal views again, which were all completely unphotographable, at least while driving.
We stopped off at the Pancake Rocks formations so called because the strata have built up and been eroded so that they look rather like stacked pancakes, and spent more time in awe of the sea as it thundered in around the pillars and caves. Unfortunately the tide wasn't high enough for us to see the full effect of the blowholes, but I can believe it's a stunning sight.
Found a camp site right on the beach, and saw a fabulous rainbow as the sun got lower in the sky. Unfortunately, Max & Erin missed the fabulous sunset, so I hope the photos turn out.
