Graeme round the world
Day 49 Friday 12th May Up at 6.45am for the 4 hour bus ride to Greymouth to catch the Trans Alpine train back to Christchurch. Beautiful views of mountains, lakes and trees, especially as had just snowed for the first time this winter the day before. Met some lovely people on board the photo carriage. Paula from Argentina who gave me a great itinerary for visiting Argentina, Gina from England, who gave me a free haircut when we got to her backpacking hostel and a Turkish guy who I'd seen a couple of times on other buses who told me a great story about him getting into the Foreign Legion :o) The one thing I didn't realise when we were on the outside viewing platform as the train sped along was how covered in soot I was getting, so by the time I got to my hotel I looked like a coal miner. I was told I looked like a 'skummer' which really made me laugh :o)
