CHECKING FOR FOOD BENEATH TABLES
We traveled north this morning stopping near lunchtime in Hokitika which was a great place to purchase jade. I actually visited a glass blowing shop where I purchased a small yellow-eyed penguin statue. We drove on to Greymouth where some of our group separated from us at the train station since they had purchased passage on the TranzAlpine Train. We drove on along the coast to Punakaiki which is the location of Pancake Rocks. These rocks near the Tasman Sea in their formation appear to be a stack of pancakes from the side. We also looked for Blowholes as the tide came in but none were evident. We returned to Greymouth for a night of rest at the Kingsgate Hotel before a 4:15 am wake-up call. We must arise so very early to travel east tomorrow across the Southern Island to Christchurch where some in our group have an early afternoon flight from the Christchurch airport. My Qantas Flight leaves at 3:05 pm.
