I have had the last two days off work and have just returned from an overnight trip down the West Coast as far a Punakaiki, home of the famous Pancake Rocks. I took many pictures but they will have to wait till tommorrow after I get the film developed. This strech of coast is incredibly beautiful and the only trouble with driving down this coast is I feel compelled to stop every few minutes to photograph the view, only to find one even more stunning just around the next corner.
I have never travelled outside of New Zealand. I remember making a concious decision in my late teens to drink my fill of this place before venturing overseas. Now that I am in my early thirties I am beginning to wonder if I will ever leave. So many New Zealanders I know who have travelled the world, speak of a renewed appreciation of what we have here, upon their return. I know there must be wonders in this world that I would never regret seeing first hand, but I also know that as long as I live I will never have enough of this majestic, unspoilt land.
