Pancake rocks

We were waiting at a road work traffic light with 3 cars in front of us. Minutes before I let them overtake me one by one, because they seemed to be in a hurry. Well, I caught up to them and Lukas and I joked about overtaking them again, after the other cars are past us and before the traffic light turns green. On the way back we were the first in line from the other side and right before the traffic light turned green someone drove past us from our side, ignoring the red light and the other cars in front. We couldn't believe that someone would actually do, what we were joking about.

Pancake Rocks: Fascinating limestone formations with waves crashing into the cliff with thunder noise. Blowholes washed out by the waves create a salty steam right before hightide. Wekas crossing the tracks and seagulls nesting on the sheltered spots.

Pororari River Track: Just learned about it the day before. An amazing river valley found its way to the tasman sea. A subtropical forest with cliffs on both sides. A breathtaking short walk for all people.

Cape Foulwind: The biggest seal colony on the west coast. A beautiful cliff coast and a nice lookout with seals hiding between the rocks. Even the rock might be a seal. Also called "rock sausage" by some locals.Read more
