The next couple of days were 'driving days' as we headed from the Abel Tasman down the West Coast towards the Glacier Region. However, we made a one night stop off at Punakaiki where we visited the famous Pancake Rocks and blowholes.
The blowholes only work at high tide, and only work well if there is a strong south-westerly swell. However, we got some good pictures of the sea smashing the rocks and the water spurting through the blowholes.
It was a nice place to make an overnight stop - the pub served great local ale!The next day we continued south along the West Coast and found Hokitika. Although famed for the green stone jewellery, we enjoyed having a picnic here and looking around a fantastic fine art photography workshop.

Wow... treking the globe sounds like an excellent idea. It's my dream to spend my life travelling and exploring the world but I don't know where to start. There's so many places to go! Did you guys just randomly choose places or did you have a plan from the start?
