Our South Island trip 2018 day 4

 Our next destination Fox Glacier we headed off  early in the morning as there was lots to see on the way 

First stop Punakaiki Tavern to take a photo of this Horse and Dray 


Then on to Punakaiki Pancake Rocks 


There is a walkway for you to follow around the coast looking at the rocks that look like stacks of pan cakes  hence the name 


The views were just amazing 


Next stop Greymouth for some lunch and a leg stretch 


when wandering  around we found this mural and they had a great town clock 


Then on to Hokitika 

When found the word Hokitika spelt out in driftwood which had been damaged in a storm  that hit the west coast and the locals had put it back together as best as they could 


we also found these crazy chairs 


Driving on we came to the town of Ross which used to be a goldmining town 


A sluicing wheel 


I found myself in the stocks again 

We  arrived in Fox Glacier booked into our cabin then went for a drive to look at the Glacier 


and we found it had to be from a distance as the road up to the Glacier walk was washed out in the storm but we still were amazed by it 

More adventures tomorrow 

Have a great day
