I’m not too happy to be leaving Punakaiki, especially on a sunny day, and more particularly because I’m heading to Greymouth, which is a town that fully embodies it’s name! Still, I meet a cool Dutch girl on my bus, and we swap music tips for the entire gruelling one hour journey down the West Coast. A dull, dull, dull night at the nevertheless quite cool Noah’s Ark hostel (animal themed rooms - and a real life fluffy golden retriever, Buzz, lift the mood somewhat!), and we’re off again on the bus to Franz Josef… home of the Glacier!
