The best Hostel (Sian)

So leaving the Glacier district we head to Greymouth for an over night stop. If anyone ever has to stay there go to The Global Village- It was the best Hostel ever!! It was all decorated in African memorabilia and paintings, it was spotlessly clean and played cool music. Our beds were lovely and comfy and the kitchen was well stocked and clean. We even managed to hire bikes for free but that's another story...

Before cycling off on the bikes we discussed if we need helmets but as we hadn't been told that we had to wear them we decided not too. We were cycling around the harbor having a great time with the wind blowing our hair around until the police stopped us and asked where our helmets were. Being a tourist was rather handy in this situation as I am sure we were about to be fined for not wearing a cycle helmet... Ooops. We then had to push the bikes for 45 minutes back to the hostel. BOO
