19 May - Hopewell Rocks

Well, arrived to a campsite where only three of us in the campground.  Its cool and wet, but we do manage to get down to the water to see the "flowerpots".  Amazing structures in an amazing area.  The tides are so great here and I have taken some pictures of our first visit in the afternoon then next day with the low tide....not exactly the highest or lowest tides, but enough to get the picture!
High Tide

Low Tide next morning!

A most fascinating area!  On the low tide day, we wandered around on the beach which had been floded the day before....the rocks and erosion can be seen and hence, the name "flowerpots"....little croppings with trees and grass growing out of their tops.
