Greymouth, the largest town on the West Coast.

Greymouth felt like I had stepped back in time. It's quite a nice little town. I say little. It is in fact, the largest town on the West Coast of the South Island. Population 9000. I think they may all have been in church while I was there, as it was empty! It was like stepping back in time 20 years. It was Sunday, and all of the shops were shut. Except for the local supermarket. I think perjaps everyone who wasn't in church, was in the supermarket. I wandered round for a bit, oogled the teas and then popped to the nearest pub to sample a local beer in the sun. The weather was glorious.

Then, all of a sudden, an incredible need for sleep hit me and I had to head back to my room. I've never had jetlag before. I slept as though I hadn't slept for a week. When I woke up, it was dark and raining and no longer Sunday in Greymouth. It was Monday, and I think everyone must have headed off to church again.
