Mmm....pancakes

The next day I was heading North again, following the coastline up past Greymouth to a place called Punakaiki. Punakaiki is only a diddy place, but one worthy of note due to the peculiar rock formations along it's coastline known as Pancake Rocks. A load of layered rocks with some serious blow-holes through them - kapoow!

Pancake Rocks. The clues in the name. Boffins, eggheads and brainiacs tell us that the rocks are limestone and are created in this strange layered way through a process called stylobedding. Indeed.

I was upset to find that the local cafe didn't serve pancakes. Now there's a unique business opportunity with a niche market if I ever saw one.
