Barrytown
We departed at midday with a slight hangover and headed into the heart of the West Coast where time almost stands still. We stoped in Hokitika to look at the greenstone factory where they can turn the greenstone that you found into a necklace or club if ...
Oh the West Coast
Beautiful coast line...weird people. The town has about 600 people, located right off the coast. I was able to get to know more of the people traveling with Stray over a couple of drinks and some pool games. The next day, half the group made knifes, ...
Bone Carving
... est meme pas une ville, je crois que je pouvais compter le nombre de maison sur mes doigts. Ainsi, pourquoi, mais pourquoi arreter a Barrytown? Je crois que l'interet reside dans le Bone Caving (faire un collier dans un os) ou dans le Knife Making ...
Barrytown

Barrytown, West Coast
Haallo!! Just got into Barrytown. Very much a one horse town, or in this case one hotel where you can preorder a chicken dinner and share it with the locals (all 30 of them!) South Island is very different to the North. We are now in sub-tropical ...
Oh dear lord, the embarrassment for everyone.
Next stop for the stray bus is compulsary. We only realise why this is so after we spend the night here! Barrytown, no not the place in the commitments, Barrytown is a tiny, weeny area of the west coast that has a bar and a few houses. We stopped ...

BAS VEGAS
There is only one reason the stray bus makes a stop in this town as there is absolutely nothing here, oh apart from that one pub (that only opens when the stray bus comes through as there arn't enough locals to keep it open). So you can see what is ...
