Tuesday 18th Nov. Not much to report today guys. Thanks for the comments. Can't work out who MG YAR is. We've had a long day today. Posted the blog in the tourist office in Murchison but unable to download pictures. Drove 164 Kms to Greymouth where we found WiFi hotspot in the railway station of all places so was able to post the latest pictures and catch up on the e-mails. There is a train that runs from Christchurch each morning to Greymouth with return trip in the afternoon. We have been thinking that we may do this and agonised over whether we should catch the train that was waiting in the station when we arrived in Greymouth and stay the night in Christchurch ,returning in the morningbut in the end it was decided to press on to FoxGlacier today and do the train when we get to Christchurch next week. The run from Murchison to Greymouth was beside the Buller Gorge for a lot of the way with many high bridges over the river. The jet boat rides must be fantastic. Some of the bridges are single track and also used by the train track. I bet some mad kiwis drive straight on up the railway track which is not fenced. From Greymouth to Hokitika the road is flat and straight along the coast. Stop at H and have a look in the Jade Factory. Expensive but nice. Watched the craftsmen working on the product. All very well presented. Stop again at Franz Josef which is the tourist centre for visiting the FJ glacier. Strong alpine atmosphere with sightseeing helicopters buzzing overhead but the mountain tops are shrouded in cloud. Can see the foot of the glacier from the road. Drive on the Fox Glacier, a much less glitz village, and book into B & B recommended by Andrew. Supper in local cafe. Rack of Lamb well presented but tough. Disappointing. We have driven 364 kms today.
