Today we left Nelson (whey!) and travelled to Westport. The towns we visit seem to be getting smaller and wetter again...actually I'm not convinced that there is actually even a town in Westport! But more of that in a mo!
On the way we stopped off at Nelson Lakes which was just stunning. Its like a giant still lake in the middle of a green valley, the water is so still its like glass - and so peaceful...oh and tons of baby ducks! Whoopwhoop!
When we arrived at Westport we quickly found out that it was literally about 2 shops and our hostel...but this didnt matter seeing as we had the best room EVER!! We stayed as a 6 again seeing as we know eachothers bad habits and snoringness and went into this room that was like a little holiday home thing. It was 2 storeys with the mum and dad of the group downstairs and then the kids in bunk beds upstairs! It was fab! We had our own bathroom and mini kitchen and tele and neverhad to leave our room...which was nice! Maybe a little anti social but hey, we have our fishy family and thats good enough for us!!
Moving on we were going to Lake mamamamanananna (or at least thats how we pronounced it!) otherwise known (thanks to the accomodation) as the Poo Pub. Now...we were a little nervous about this as Katefish was told by a "friend" that our room was one big mattress that everyone from the bus slept on!! I know I know we were stupid to believe them but you just never know! Anywho, it was...which was nice!
The Poo Pub was to be the scene of our bus bonding summer party...interesting stuff! It was fancy dress (we DID participate...if its raining that much outside and you wear summer clothes that counts!!). Anywho, the pub is run by a wee old man who used to play rugby for the all blacks but in reality looks like a cute wee gnome! He was fab and cooked us an awesome BBQ...whoopwhoop!
The party was tons of fun...not least watching Atle and Kate trying to pull their whole body through a kids swimming ring thing...and pretty much failing!! Highly amusing! Also got cracking footage of them busting a move!! Always good for a giggle!
Thats about it for the Poo Pub....some very sore heads and grumpy stomachs got on the bus the next day though...for once we were not amongst them! Whey!!
Much Love! xxx
