Well...this has to be the most exciting town in the world...! We joined the Kiwi Experience today and had a long trip across the South Island to the West coast. We started as part of a small minibus load and then joined a larger coach half way. One of a our stops along the way was a river in one of the national parks, where we had a swim. The weather was fantastic and we all enjoyed jumping off the rocks into some very refreshing water! (Well actually just us mad English and a few crazy Canadians!) The drive through the mountains was spectacular and it was amazing the contrast between the drier East coast and the lush West.
We eventually arrived in Westport and our expectations were not exceeded! Westport is an old mining town but clearly not a lot goes on apart from mining! However the accomodation was cool- we were in a 7 bed room (and this time with no snoring guys) with a kitchen and living area. An early night for everyone after a long day of travellling.
