Enjoying pancakes

ප්‍රකාශිතයි: 23.11.2018

Travel days are really exhausting. Today and tomorrow are such days again. Today we are going to the coast to Granity, 30 km above Westport. During the 4-hour car ride, which is given by the navigation system, the 'Pancake Rocks' are on the agenda. But that will take a while. First, we race through the mountains.


Passing by forests, lakes, snow-covered peaks


and lonely mailboxes by the roadside. We reach a small village and the question arises, where do the people actually buy their groceries here? Because before and also far behind, we haven't seen a supermarket or anything similar on the highway. Maybe everyone is self-sufficient or there are inconspicuous 'mom-and-pop shops'?

The landscape slowly becomes flatter

and we reach the coast.

New Zealand is a dream scenically. Diverse like barely any other. Majestic mountains covered with rainforest stretch into the sea.

Lonely bays, great beaches.


I could stop after every turn, but then we would never arrive.

We reach one of the, in my opinion, few spectacular natural phenomena, the 'Pancake Rocks'. A pancake is a small pancake and that's what the rock formations look like, stacked pancakes. A nice '20' minute walk takes us to the viewpoints.


A true masterpiece of nature. After a little over an hour, we continue our journey.

After a total of 6 1/2 hours, we finally reach our next overnight destination. A small and cozy holiday home right on the beach.

With a glass of wine, grapes, and a few cheese crackers, we enjoy the last rays of sunshine on our terrace. Cheers.

PS: Rain is forecasted again for tomorrow.

Die sahen schon cool aus. Es gibt dasuch die blowholes. Wenn die See rauh ist schwappt das Wasser dorthin und wird nach oben alsFontaine ausgeblasen, wie bei einem Wal. Als wir da waren war die See leider ruhig😐
