To Abel Tasman
Today was another travel day, as we wound our way from Franz Josef to Abel Tasman, though some of the windiest roads I’ve ever seen! Before we headed inland to get to the norther coast, though, we went up the western coast and came across a spot called the Pancake Rocks. Why are they called “pancake rocks” you ask? Take a look:

We got there at the high tide, which is perfect for viewing the flumes and geysers as the waves crash against these cliffs.




We headed inland to cut the northwest corner, and came across a suspension bridge, so we had to explore of course.


We spent the night in a campground, and had the whole place to ourselves
Very peaceful to wake up totally alone.


Next stop: Abel Tasman
