Hey all, right had a lil update from everyone and this is what happened from taupo right the way over to the south island to wanaka. The next stop was river valley which when we turned up looked quite cool as its in between a huge valley with obviously a large river flowing through! Walked down to the lodge checked in chose what was called the orgy room! where basically its 30 err cushions what seemed like layed in a line, interesting! that afternoon we played volley ball and thats when i relised i`m crap at it. O well i can serve ok hehe. We ventured down to the river found a cool way of crossing, by this rope with a little cart on it! that was great fun but shortly after that it started raining and didnt stop until the next morning an we pretty much sat inside until our lovely roast arrived! tis was nice! The night followed with a few drinks an a few games of a massive jenga! wild.
The next stop was wellington the bottom of the north island we spent 5 days here and met up again with a few friends we made along the way. From what i can remember it was very windy here! and the whole time we were getting drunk getting up midday mincing about then getting drunk again, one night we gathered in the room had some pizza yaga meisters vodca etc met this girl who we thought was very shy but the more she drunk the more forward she got!;-) well ending the night in embarasment she left an left early in the morning an we never see her again hmm guess you had to be there. We found a great bar called establishment a live band night was a very good night all in all!! Last day of us all being together we treked up to the top well we caught a train hehe er to these gardens where we first seemed to all colapse from being hungova and fell asleep then sort of relaxed in a circle as it was great weather an also had a few rolly polly races ;-)
Next stop was a place called nelson very nice beach! see lots of crabs and for the first time in nz actually sun bathed. On the way bk from the beach we played footy at the park an a lil frisby after that we headed back an had a very nice roast. To finish the night we went out as it was katies birthday found it was dead! so went to a bar played a lil table tennis. The next morning we all finally decided after weeks of saying it went for a run, Was a good run up through a country side to the centre of nz it killed me! took a few snaps at the top went bk.
The next stop was a creepy town i think was called westport not sure but it was tiny! but the normal hostel was full so we vollenteered to go to this horrible place it was some1`s house a family lived there! my memorys are cold showers bed bugs! and in bed 930!! not so good times. In the morning we set off to the next destination but on the way we done jet boating was great fun an was squished alot by sarah!! hehe.
Poopub! a great place! the jist of it was an 88 year old man called les runs this place and every night is a fancy dress so we thought thats it were goner go as smurfs!! we found bright blue body paint i thought we could make the hats out of bin bags and paper! my skills payed off! hehe i made mine then taught everyone how to do it was great. Once we had our famous steak from les we pre drinked an got ready. Now painting each other was quite disturbing well painting andy, shuving paint into andys ears lol an well it wasnt pretty, when we walked in we got massive cheers and lots of photos people grabbing us for photos with the smurfs! As the night went on i drunk way more than i should of and everyone had gone back but i contiued an relised how plastered i was missioned back an pretty much fell into the cabin got the micky taken an escorted to the showers by sarah! i`ve been told she carried me but its lies!! hehe, being in the state i was i couldnt shower all the blue off so embarrassly she helped well done it all, an experience hehe.
Leaving there very hung over feeling sick on the coach (a cheer to the smurfs on the coach ;-0 ) we travelled for about 2 hours stopping at a place which felt like a school trip hehe, it was called bushmans something an you get taught how they caught deers etc with helicopters in the old days, soooo boring but got to see possums an a pig o o an i fed a raindeer that was cool, moving on we carried on our journey to frans joseph an here is where the glasier is! arriving around 4 we relaxed in the spa an sighed up for the glasier hike for the next day cool. We got up silly o clock!! about 6! to find its raining! missioned to the meeting centre in the rain and geared up ready to climb a glasier! A short bus journey to the bottom an we were away! pretty much walking throu streams climbing rocks an then bolted on our spikes an climbed the glasier tis was amazing! An exhausting 9 hour hike finished with a needed spa, nice.
