Then, we had another quick stop at Bushman's cafe where you can try possom's pie! (For people who don't know what possums are, they are a pest. They're dangerous to other animals, and little trees. They were introduced to Nz by Aussies. Kiwi themselves don't want them, so they'd like to eliminate them by making possum's pie! (Ha ha, I'm just kidding).
The driver said their meat is like cats' meat :(!!! sounds cruel!!! She has never tried it herself, she's just heard from others! Some of us tried it too, they said it was ok, but no one wants another one! eiei! )
Finally, we got Franz Josef around 12.30pm. As soon as I saw Franz Josef, I had no wonder why Greymouth is the biggest city on west coast. If you walk as normal no hurry at all, you can see all the city within 10 mins or less. Ho ho! There are only few cafes, bars and one big convenient store. There is an information centre too, unfortunately they can do only a few things for you (I didn't know what things they could do), but I knew that they couldn't help me book the accommodation in advance. :(One funny thing, if you wanna get a photo from your digital camera, they need to take your camera to other cities (Wanaka or Greymouth). It will take you a few days to do so. Gosh! I'm sure you now can imagine how small it is. I wouldn't say it is a city.
I met one japanese girl at the backpacker(Glow worm backpacker), we went for coffee. She had worked at the backpacker for a week. Then, we had another walk around the block(the city). It's like a main road and there were shops beside the road. That's it, really!!!
I've talked to one English gentleman and it made me want to stay a night at Wanaka. There was one of famous lakes (Wanaka lake). He said it was stunning!
This was another day of my journey!!!
