Tranzalpine to Greymouth

Well we have come back from Greymouth, we had great time with fantastic view of the alps Arthus Passon both journeys!!! We have been lucky with the weather on all our trips up to now!!. Once we arrived in Greymouth we had pizza in the only decent looking place to eat in the town, then we rushed down to the sea side to watch the sunsetGreymouth2                                           We stayed in a backpackers called Noah's Ark because when the town was flooded it was the only house that was not. It was used for refuge for the town people. For the next morning I had booked off road go karts which was well good and fun watching Elizabeth getting covered in MUD!!!. Plus I did too. But Elizabeth did not really like it only did it for me. Plus found it very cold as Elizabeth said she got too cold to enjoy it!!

We got taken back to the train station and found our train was running an hour and half late!!!!. So went to the warehouse the only decent shop in town. Below is a picture of Bez the puppy which belonged to the backpackers.

So the weather is better but the trains are the same! It looks pretty by the sea there. Hopefully the next company you go to will be able to afford your valuable services.
