When Miss Robb returned from her Glacier Flight we packed the car and headed up the West Coast. The Kiwis nickname this the “Wet Coast” because it usually rains so much but we had glorious weather.
We had lunch in the old gold mining town of Ross and then visited the jade factory at Hokitika. This area has always been a good source of the gem also known as greenstone.
Then we drove on to Punakaiki, whose English name is Pancake Rocks. I expect you can see why :-). I wouldn’t recommend trying to eat these with maple syrup or lemon and sugar though.
Our last stop was Westport where we spent the night.
