Long drive today of 4hrs 51 mins. Some windy roads in middle section but good views. Visited seal colony at Cape Foulwind. How they use the rocky ledge in rough waters is beyond me. Apparently numbers are dropping.

Then on to Punakaiki and the Pancake rocks. This deserves to be up with the Giants Causeway. Absolutely fascinating and the sea erosion was awesome to see in action.

On then to our room at Breakers. What a setting overlooking the sea and waves!! Great room as well. Down unto the beach looking for greenstone/jade.... Even though we do not know what we are looking for. Heavy rain during the night.
