We left christchurch and headed for Westport, a small town where we were just staying for the night. Our lovely bubbly bus drive, Flea, mocked the small town and told us it was full of inbred beared men. We couldnt wait.
There was a competition to see who could get a photo of the ugliest man there, and the prize was something like a bungy swing or something amazing!
So we got there, and naturally me and holly went straight to the nearest subway. That night everyone was going to this pub to get nice and drunk, so we got some wine and predrank in our room. We were sharing our dorm with some Norwegian peolpe ( or were they swedish?), 2 girls who looked like barbies, and two guys, ohe who looked (and danced) like something out of Grease. We then started drinking games with them. Probably the stupidest most simple drinking game ever, just flicking the bottle cap into a dirty pint, then if you flicked it in, you were safe, but if the next person missed it they had to drink, if the person before you gets it in but you miss, you have to drink. I was next to Grease guy, and he was good. I. Got. Mortal. I dont remember the rest of the night, but what i do recall was us somehow getting to this pub, for some stupid reason getting a bottle of wine to share, attempting to play pool, going to the toilet then insisting that i had lost my camera all night. Poor Holly had to cope with me all night until we finally came home and i munched on the most disgusting cereal bar ever. I woke up the next day in QUITE a state.
We then had to get on the bus again to head to Greymouth, much to my dismay as to my terrible state. But somehow i managed not to vom once!
The point of going to Greymouth is basically to stay in this hostel and pub called "the poo pub" where a guy called Les owns and the Kiwi Experience people have grown to love him and stay there with all their busses. Now, Les is an interesting character. He is quite old, has a big bushy beard, wears the same hat that he has worn for years and looks fairly inbred in himself. He is a stern, strict man who says serious things that no one can help laughing at. He was lovely under it all, and such a laugh, everyone loved les.
There was also a beach and a lovely lake there, but the main focus of the brief time spent there was to once again get mortal. Everytime a bus stays there they have a big old piss up and a fancy dress theme, and Les and his bar maids make us food, which basically consisted of venison and potatoes.
The pub was a strange place, the ceiling was covered in hats, the walls were covered in polaroid photos from previous bus groups, the bar maid was a beefy woman. It was dark and dingy and had so much character!
The hostel section of the place was interesting in its self. We felt like we were kept in a prison or some kennels... The rooms were essentially a tank, with 2 bunk beds in each tank.
The theme of our night was anything begining with the letter of your first or last name, nice and easy! On our way to Greymouth we had stopped at another town to get cheap costumes, so everyone was all excited to show everyone what they had. There was a prize again for a bungy jump or something so everyone was keen.
Me and holly decided to go as tramps, sexyy!
Everyone was getting ready and it was all hilarious. Les, an interesting man had set some ground rules. No body paint, no mess, no cardboard. Why he had something against cardboard no one knew.
Me and holly tramped ourselves up with back brushed hair, scruffy clothes, bin bag shoes and even a stick with a plastic bag package on.
The other girl in our room was going as a pool, so she had a safety inflatable ring around her waste, safety bands on her arms and then painted her legs to look like water, and it looked so good! We all went to the pub and Flea came over to her and told her that Les would go mad! and that she had to wash it all off! We couldnt stop laughing, she had spent so long on it!
It was a fun little piss up, the costumes were hilarious. 3 guys went as girls, full out, one girl went as a condom, one girl went as a hangover complete with bowel with fake sick, it was quite a giggle. The winner was one of the guys who went as a girl, he did look good but damn scary!
