Greymouth |

We arrived in Greymouth about lunchtime and had a long walk (with heavy backpacks!) to our hostel. However, it turned out to be worth it. Global Village hostel gets a massive thumbs up - it's amazing! Everywhere you look there is African artwork and carvings, you notice something different every time you walk back into a room. They also have free mountain bikes to use (which we borrowed to go shopping) and free kayaks to use on the river that runs behind the hostel.
We could have stayed for ages in this cozy hostel, had it not been for the fact that there's not a great deal to do in Greymouth! If anyone ever visits Greymouth, stay here! The owner even came round with free homemade muffins and they have a friendly cat called Pumba! We only spent one night in Greymouth as a stopover on our way to Franz Josef, and I think that's the only reason many traveller's stay here. It's just a nice, quiet town by the sea, where nothing much happens!
