Clydevale - Wanaka - Greymouth now in Hanmer Springs! :D

Heyhey!

Has had an amazing time so far, there is some long and narrow roads, but the scenarie is just beautifull and changing all the time!

Drove out off wanaka and headed to the Glaciers, Fox and Franz Josef. We ended up doing a hike up towards Fox, and saw how beautifull it was there. Then we drove through mountains, next to the ocean, and up and down roads. I so want to go hunting or hiking here on the West Coast, I love it!!

We change drivers every couple off hours so we want be getting to sleepy, and poor Sarah was bored off sitting on the passenger seat so she wanted to drive the last bit, and after some snake roads, we ended up on a flat straight ahead road, and police stopped us. And we got a speeding ticket, and the police man tried to find other things to pin us about aswell, like the car not being functional and stuff, but it just passed a warrant of fitness, and is registred for another two months or so. So everything is alright, except he gave us a big fat speeding ticket... Not good. Butbut, we ended up in Greymouth in the end, in a beautifull backpackers called Worldtravellers lodge BBH. They had a african/indian theme all over the building, with a fire going and cosy bedrooms. So we ended up watching a nice movie and read untill far out in the night.

Etapp Greymouth to Hanmer  Springs, not that far but still far enough. Had to be out off the backpackers before 10 o`clock. So Amanda and I went for a run in the morning and saw some off Greymouth, got to have a nice look at the waves coming in from the Tasman sea, and saw some native birds, not quite sure what they are called. But they where ground birds, black with a red beak, quite cool. And I saw black swans, found that even more amazing. Then to the gym, and then packing off room, breakfast and pointing our nose towards Hanmer Springs. No speed tickets today, and nothing else. We ended up in Hanmer, a beautifull town, with some people here. We did a nice little hike to the top off Colonial hill, and then some tea, before going to the hot springs pools. Which was just amazing, now it is relaxing time before heading on to Kaikoura tomorrow, and swim with some dolphins and go whale watching!! I'm excited!!! :D
