International House of Punakaiki

We visited the pancake rocks at Punakaiki in 2014 and also in 2009. Again, in 2018, we were trying to hit the rocks at high tide, to see the blow-hole in full action. Alas...

Pancakes

Blowhole reservoir

Blowhole...down there...apparently has Monday off...the DOC ranger person
explained that the winds have to be from the southwest (which they were not)
for it to work; I have now officially given up on Punakaiki

Major pancakes

Us, there, at high tide

Double rainbow over the nearby campground later

And a walk on the beach
