The West Coast

---

We left Nelson at 8:15 heading towards Greymouth an excellent hot day. The bus went through Hope Saddle and Buller Gorge following some spectacular scenery we stopped in the Paparoa National Park where some of us took an hours walk along a good coastal path and we saw New Zealand Fur seals the bus met up with us at the end of the path and proceeded towards Greymouth. We stopped once more at a place call Punakaki which have blow hols and pancake rocks the pancake rocks look like animals. From there we went to Greymouth where I stopped in the Noah’s Ark Hostel which had rooms named after animals I was in the tiger room which had Rosie from Edinburgh in, the wall had a picture of a tigers head looking out at us.
2 people in a five bed dorm excellent.
