Thought id really fuked up as went to the shop to get batteries for me camera (as didnt bother the night before) and when i got back the shuttle was gone.. didnt panic thou figured itd come back and it did so all gud.
Wasnt worth my while gettn the poxy batteries. I was knackered tired (stupid cold goin around the hospo industry in christchurch at the mo) and the weather was a bit poxy so i wasnt exactly missing much by not looking out the window.
Fukn train staff got real fussy bout me and a couple of english people sitting in the wrong seats.. MADE us move into our right ones which sucked as id a 4berth to meself and was crashed out - feet up on the far seats chilling.. and the seat i had to take was in a 4 berth with this fukn dope from dublin thatd been stayn in the backpakers. She was ignorant and rude enuf while i was workn there so didnt bother sayn nethin to her. Glad to sleep acturally and not pay any heed to her. hehe.
So in greymouth didnt see much either.. had about 40 mins there, so had a bita a wander in the spitting rain.. got to see the inside of a chemist to get some crap for me cold and then got sum grub and wandered back down to the train station. Only worthwhile thing from it was hearing about a few festivals that will be happening over the coming months!!
So arrived back in christchurch late (as the train - of course - broke down) lol. Ah well shit happens as they say. Arrived back into christchurch around 7.30pm id guess that evening. Met up with a few mates for a few drinks and that was another day over..!
