I can still stay in budget if I don't eat...
Sooo...the repairs were...expensive. Pretty much had to replace the wheel. Crap. expensive. I should have bought a bus ticket. Oh well. Good thing J&J paid well... (thanks guys!) Welllll, today was raining. I ...
From thin air
... our faces as we continued along the road. I can't think of an explanation, so if anyone has any bright ideas please let me know. Greymouth was next, I sat on the beach all day just staring out to sea, just me, myself and my thoughts. It's been a whole ...
Driving down the Coast
Next day we went to see the Franz Joseph Glacier. Really impressive, but not a patch on Perito Moreno in Patagonia. Then we drove to the town of Fox Glacier, and set up our camp. After dinner we went into town to a saloon bar (these places were gold ...
West coast
... . Taas paar minutit ja olimegi juba all. Kuna meeleolu oli ülev, otsustasime sõitu jätkata ning jõudsime õhtuks Greymouth nimelisesse linna. Ööbimiskohta oli päris raske saada, kõik hotellid olid juba täis. Siiski õnnestus meil leida kohad ...
Franz Josef Continued
Yes, all I am still alive you don't have to worry about that. Its just that I am so gosh darn busy and internetting is so expensive that I can't get on as much as I like. Plus, its been a good while since I last updated so everytime I sit down to write ...
beer, cider and necklaces
... along the coastline, we chose a nice walk to see the seal colony - this is the most northerly breeding fur seal colony in New Zealand. Our second stop was in the Paparoa National Park which is around 30,000ha of rainforest, cliffs and caves but the most ...
Arthurs Pass
... pretty hard to describe and we took pictures on the disposable camera so I can't even show you! We stopped off in a place called Greymouth for long enough to get a takeaway (our burner was still not replaced at the point) and set off across the country ...
Drill it....
... to see, especially with the huge waves crashing in around them and up through a series of blowholes. We stopped briefly in Greymouth which while not the greatest place I've ever been, was top notch in comparison to Westport. While Kenno looked in to ...
Boho shique and apres ski
... The rest of the day took us through the mountains, as we finally got to the other coast, and stopped in the little town of Greymouth. Managed to get a little motel with a kitchen, so we could cook for ourselves, and (even better) we let them do the ...
Shantytown
... fashioned lolly shop (note: not old fashioned prices, but not as expensive as they could have been either) we headed back to Greymouth for the afternoon. On arrival to the 5th wheel we discovered what rain was like on the West Coast... A young couple ...
The rest of the West
... to 'Sweet Alice Fudge Kitchen' which we'd read about and bought some for a treat - it's worth the flight to New Zealand, seriously. When we arrived in Greymouth, we realised very quickly that there is not a lot to do as it is very industrial and not at ...
MONTEITH'S BREWERY AND SCARY LOCALS
... a mandatory overnight stop with my backpacking bus company in the middle of the sticks. I'm not exactly sure why they had Greymouth as a stop, since there's pretty much nothing there. But there always is fun to be had. We got schlepped ...
Kiwi Qwidditch
... another car. Gas prices gouge unlearned travellers like myself that didn't fill up in the last major city. About the only good things Greymouth had going for it was a really nice hostel and a movie theatre playing Harry Potter 4. I can see you with my ...
Road Trip/ Death Trip
... of NZ, but we weren’t here to buy any, we were here because we didn’t want to spend any more time in Greymouth than was seriously needed. We didn’t do a whole lot whilst we were in town, just went and watched a pretty sunset and then ...
A week of Amazing Activities!
... road, eating the tortuous route to Nelson for breakfast. Nelson is an outstanding, progressive, artsy town. Deemed the sunniest spot in New Zealand, I knew right off Id like it. Our destination, though, was the Abel Tasman National Park, and we were right ...
Wild west coast
... of the island and has sone dramatic coastal scenery. First though we stopped at Buller Gorge to be ripped off paying to walk across New Zealand's longest swingbridge. Yeah it was long, but at the end of the day it's just a swingbridge - to spice it up we ...
Day 228
... through the national park. After a quick sunset stop (you gotta be quick round here, sunset lasts about thirty seconds) we arrive in Greymouth, our stop for the night. Tonight there’s a ‘bus party’ for us all, which means a party for ...
Tranz Alpine
... to me but then I understood that the wind was bringing sometimes the gas of the exhaust manifold of the train... We arrive then in Greymouth were I went for the visit of a brewery. I was the last one to pay and just before me the machine broke and the ...

... a break, then Dunedin, Lake Tekapo and then Christchurch from where on Aug. 14 I will fly to Auckland to catch my Air New Zealand flight back to........CANADA! Cannot believe it my time has come. ANyway the bus stops where there are sights ie ...
The TranzSenic Railway
... locals say, "If its raining on one coast its nice on the other" and after this experience I believe it. Our destination, Greymouth, reminded me an awful lot of Hayward, Wisconsin a town in north western Wisconsin close to my cabin. We had ...
NZPD
Down south. After my night in Wanganui I hit the road to Wellington, quite a long drive. On the way I picked up a hitchhiker - Brenda, a mature student from Otaki a little town en route, I mentioned that I was looking for an internet place and to show ...
Into the west
... making our way through gorges, valleys and farmland the train climbed into the Southern Alps before descending through rainforest towards Greymouth. And with the rainforests came the rain, but I have to say, I was still pretty impressed! Greymouth ...
