New Zealand Greymouth River

 We were on our way to Greymouth, home of the famous Greymouth River and more importantly, Monteith's Brewery. Now there is a lot of good beer in New Zealand but, to Matt at least, Monteith's is the finest. 
I didn't have much interest in beer brewing because Greymouth had another asset: lots and lots of jade. We had read that jade actually washes up on the beach here and I was quite anxious to find out if this was true but first..........lots of jade shops. We split up; I in search of jade and Matt in search of beer. We were both very happy.
