So we left the lovley little town of Nelson and headed down the west coast which is very uninhabited, full of sheep, rolling hills and very friendly people with beards even the women (only joking) because the west coast is so rugged it takes so long to drive as you have to manouvre round a lot of mountains, add that to the fact that these Magic busdrivers are a big bunch off girls and they can´t drive for more than a hour and a half without a donut and coffe...
