Birdsong

After Anne left, I stayed in Hokitika for a few days at a wonderful hostel called Birdsong. I needed to chill out and collect myself after all our intense travelling. We were going full-on the whole time, having a blast, but man! I was worn out afterwards! And it worked perfectly, because I got phone reception in Hokitika so I could talk to my fam and Savage and use email and such. Email AND phone reception! Can you imagine?! Plus, the hostel owner brought out free freshly baked bread every morning, along with homemade aprict-nectarine preserves. AND, he also brought some sort of homemade cake each night for all of us as well. Does it get any better than that?! Oh yes it does. They had an awesome common room lined in picture windows looking out onto the ocean, which was right across the road. Plus a wood stove surrounded by bean bag chairs. Plus 2 dogs, one of whom loved to play fetch. It was a great place for some R and R before continuing on my travels along the West Coast.
