The strange layered rocks that the town is famous for.
Punakiaki is a small town on the west coast famed for its pancake rocks, stacked formations of thin layers of rock. When the tide is high and the waves have any strength blow holes shoot water into the air. Near by are several nice walks, beaches and coves. The Truman track leads down to one such cove. Many postcards of the cove are sold across the south island.

The pancake rocks weren’t so impressive, we were unlucky with the weather and therefore no blow holes were active. The beach behind was really nice though.

Spent the day walking with Robin and Anders. Had ice cream, but no pancakes.
