Westport to Lake Mahinapua

Today we drove to an exclusive Kiwi Experience stop the Poo Pub!

We had a later start today and drove up the road to Cape Foulwind where we did a short walk to see some seals. Captain Cook named Cape Foulwind after the blustery cold winds that come in off of Antarctica! The other Foul Wind that you can get here is the seal poo smell! We only saw a couple of seals and they blended in really well with the rocks that they had to be pointed out to me!

After this we headed to Pancake Rocks where the sea had shaped the rocks into pancake stack shaped rocks! It was pretty rough out in the sea today so there were some major waves crashing through the caves!

At Greymouth our next stop we were told that there would be a party at the Poo Pub tonight and we had to get dressed up as anything beginning with a letter P. Prizes included a canyon swing, river boarding and bunjy photos (all for use in Queenstown)! I thought well I don't wanna spend much and none of the prizes appealed to me so I bought a tiara and decided to be a Princess!

At the poo pub (actually called Mahinapua Hotel) I realised I wasn't very well and had to see a doctor so I arranged for this but I had to wait until 8.30pm! I had dinner with everyone else and then saw people getting ready. As I wasn't feeling well the manager Les arranged for me to have a room to myself that night!

I saw the doctor and she gave me lots of tablets to take! But no drinking - agh!

Back at the Poo pub the phone was busy and I needed to call my Mum to let her know what was happening so in the meanwhile I had a look at everyone elses outfits. One of the blokes was dressed as Poo! he had covered himself with chocolate spread and also some bits of sweetcorn (I later found out he won the prize!), there was Pamela Anderson (a bloke!), The panty girls (some ozzie girls), blokes dressed as prostitutes, a couple of girls dressed as pensioners, a girl dressed as a 'pot' plant! You get the idea!

People kept saying to come in later on after I had let the tablets start working but I fell asleep!
