Saturday - wash out day

Today ther are strong winds and pouring rain so not much to do this morning except sit around the beach house. A real pain in the bum unless you want to walk in it and have wet clothes all day as we move on again later today.

After lunch we went to see the Pancake rocks and blow holes which were really a different aspect. Got a bit wet but worth it.
Then Sue drove us to a place called Hokitika where there was a Jade factory - Jade is called 'Greenstone' by the Maori's here. Bought a simple little pie
Had tea at a place called Stumpies - I asked for a light meal and got a huge basket fulls of chips, wedges, chicken, pork, fish samosa's and more. I think it would have been enough for at least 4 people.
On to Frans Joseph where there are lots of glaciers so hopefully a more interesting blog tomorrow.

Love to all
