River Valley & Wellington

This is a secluded hostel in the middle of nowhere and a truly beautiful place to chill out which is exactly what some of us did. Our room looked out over the river with a steep hill and a waterfall directly ahead. There was a suspended 2-man trolley with pulley system to get across the river which was a laugh. The rest of the day was spent relaxing. That evening we had a wonderful roast dinner and whiled away the evening drinking dark n stormy which is a very nice combination of dark rum, ginger ale and lime.

The next day was in very similar to the last as we spent the morning chilling out with the afternoon taken up by the journey to Wellington. On our way to Wellington we stopped off and did a nice brisk 1 1/2 hour walk to an amazing water fall. I've lost count of the number of falls I've seen since traveling but each one is different and still very beautiful. We stopped here for lunch before continuing to Wellington.

We arrived in Wellington (capital of New Zealand) on Friday night, got ready and went straight down to the hostel bar where we got completely smashed, what a great night out. The entire bus was out Wellington is amazing! Such a party city. The next day was spent recovering, shopping and preparing for Saturday night which turned out to be as crazy as Friday night.

By the time Sunday arrived everyone was a mess and my liver was in danger of leaving my body of it's own accord. It's all good fun though. There is a group of 8 of us are really close now and its just so much fun! There is MC (Marie-Clair) Ali, Jenny, Darren, Ash, Matt and Noelle.

Monday saw an early start for the ferry to the 3 hr trip to the South Island at least I got to see United beat Blackburn, sorry Mum
