Greymouth

There is not much really going on in this town. The only reason for stopping there was to go to the famous Monteith´s Brewery.
Traveling on the road in NZ is a bit weird for a Londoner. Well, for this Londoner anyway. Nothingness for quite a while and then, low-and-behold, *people*; a little pocket of civilisation! At least, the west coast of the south island is like that.
In the evening we headed down to the brewery and had a tour of the place with a really cool woman who was very enthusisatic about her job. Afterwards, we had tasters of all the different types of Monteith beer. Being a non-beer drinker usually, I was surprised at how much I actually liked some of the beer. Slightly tipsy, we made our way down to the bar to claim our free pint of whichever Monteith brew took our fancy and had a BBQ, a few more drinks, and a dance.
