We headed out of Westport down the coast towards Greymouth the ride was good except the wind was coming off the sea and covered our visors and made it a bit hard to see. We stopped at 'Shantytown' it was the third time I have been there but the first time I went in and that was only because Kym made me, we had a look around and rode the steam train it was not that exciting but at least we been there and done that now, I reckon MOTAT has a better version of the same sort of thing.
We gave 'Pancake Rocks' a miss as there was a tour bus there and the food is overpriced. and the rocks haven't changed. Stopped for breakfast in Greymouth at Robert Harris Real coffee.
Headed to Franz Josef Glacier for the night, had a look around the township and went to dinner had a bit to much Black Beer with my venison pie.
We didn't walk out to the glacier this time the last time we were there we crossed the ropes and was mucking about in the ice cave that collapsed and killed those two Indian boys from Australia.
We headed down to Wanaka the accommodation we thought we were going to get fell through so we will spend one night here we spent a week here for an airshow in '06' so we seen it all before, We will stop at the warbird museum on our way out of town.
The weather is not looking to flash for the next few days ,but never mind, its not like we can quit and go home.
