But Greymouth was a sweet place, and the hostel we stayed at was even better than Nelson: made-up beds, sea themed rooms, hot water bottles, bubble baths and FREE iced buns from the local bakery at the end of the day! Fantastic! Free stuff from hostels has definitely become a detrimental part to how we decide which to stay in! In Greymouth there were more pretty coastal walks to do alongside huge crashing waves (that made a rumbling sound which I mistook for an Earthquake but I didn't panic...much). Plus the hostel manager, Steve, showed us a scary cave (Cobden Cave) to explore but me and Jen had seen the film, "Descent" way too many times and so didn't take us long to get scared of the dark and came running back up again - especially as all I had with me was my wind-up torch when I should have had a huge, blindingly bright, industrial-type torch...and flares! We consoled ourselves after that with an "all-you-could-eat" BBQ for $5 (2GBP) which I did terribly at as I filled up on pasta...damn filling pasta!
