A town of 750 people

Yes, when we said a 'one horse town' we weren't kidding!!! However with a bit of lovely Hunter's Miu Miu special reserve it all got a bit nicer towards the evening - and sitting outside our lovely Motel room at the 'Merchiston Motels' and chatting to our lovely neighbours Ian and Lynne the evening couldn't have been nicer...sun shining and everything!
Today, Friday, we are en route for Greymouth - currently stopped at a little cafe called "Berlins" just outside of Westport on the West coast (funnily enough!)
We've just had an interesting experience on the way over here - with the Buller Gorge Swingbridge needless to say I didn't make it across, and Dan did it twice!!!! (He's just showing off!)
We've now got less than a week left :-( and we're in 2 minds as whether to get back to Leif & Ruckmini et al, or to travel for another day or so and maybe cross the country coming over one of the wicked passes that cut through the mountains.
We're SOOOOOOO coming back to NZ - next time though, we're going to do it in one of these
OK well the 20 minute internet ticket thing gets used up quickly, we've just had a coffee, and there's a goat standing outside the door. Time to goat I think! <--apologies for really bad joke from Dan)
