Jasper


I arrived in Jasper at 5pm, the hostel was 7km out of town so I was hoping there was some kind of bus there. It was only 5pm. The grumpy lady in the information center said the last one was at 5.50pm, I repeated it back to her so make sure I'd heard her right. I then phoned the hostel to make sure they had room and went out to get the bus, then back into the info center to ask exactly where the stop was, I spoke to a different lady this time who said the last bus was at 5.15pm. Ah great, another informative information center, if you're used to visitor centers in New Zealand, prepare for disappointment with these places. They are hit and miss. So I had to fork out $50 that night to stay in a little B&B style place without the second B, but it wasn't so bad in fact, I haggled $10 of the original price of $60 and I had to whole lower floor to myself plus had a TV in my room and could watch a film in a proper bed, luxury.
