Paul's Adventures
Hello again...
I contacted my mate Paul and arranged to meet him and his friend Jamie in westport on the South Island, so i headed to the airport in Rotorua and jumped on a flight to Christchurch the flight was around an hour and a half so nice and quick..
When i arrived i grabbed a hire car and then set of to westport i had a 4 hour journey ahead of me so i set of the journey took me through some spectacular scenery i passed through the mountain range all the mountains are covered in snow and it looks so gorgeous.
I finally arrived around half five i met Paul and his friend Jamie it was really good to see him so we stuck our stuff into the hostel, Paul and Jamie had hooked up with a Irish girl in Auckland so they came down with her, so Jamie and Caz stayed in and me and Paul headed for a walk around the nearest bar, but westport is not the biggest of towns so we managed to find one we had far to many beers but beat the local lads at pool.
In the morning Jamie had some bad news so we had to take him Christchurch to catch a flight home, me and Paul then headed back towards Greymouth which is the next town down from westport..
The drive was around 3 hours and by the time we arrived it was getting dark so we tried to find somewhere to stay the night eventually we found a hostel it was pretty funky had a very Aztec feel to it..
we headed out to watch the all blacks play South Africa the game was entertaining and the all b;lacks played extremely well, after a few beers we was both shattered after the days driving.. We headed back to the hostel and chilled out and had a good nights sleep..
I returned the hire car as i was going to travel with Paul and Caz because she has her own car but the problem we had was that she was 200 k away in Frans Joseph so we had 2 options get the bus or Hitch hike, so we both decided to Hitch a lift so with our kit on our backs we headed to the main road we started walking we were both deciding who stick there thumb out so Paul was just about to when a car pulls up 2 girls hop out and guess what Paul had met a few days earlier,.
what a result so we hoped in and headed down to Frans Joseph... when we arrived we booked ourselves into the rain forest lodge this is a hostel and its really popular the Kiwi experience stop here..
