Pancake Rocks

Punakaiki, New Zealand, 11 March 2007

On route to Punakaiki we stopped off to cross NZ's longest swing bridge and then nearly ran out of petrol! The needle was well below the empty mark for about 70km. In the end we rolled into the petrol station in Westport on will alone. Phew! We had started to realise that booking rooms ahead of time was more important in the south island as places fill up fast. In Punakaiki we sat down and planned out the rest of our route up until our departure to Sydney and then booked the best places to stay. Before leaving Punakaiki we did the 20 minute coastal walk past and around the famous Pancake rock formations. It was a very well maintained walk and the rocks were pretty groovy.











A "Wicked" campervan, we see them all over NZ. The slogans are a bit risque.
