HeyDay 2 of my stray bus around New Zealand. Pretty cool so far. Yesterday stayed at a small town called kaikoura. Only a short bus ride from Christchurch. There's about 10 on the bus but they have all been round the south island and heading up north so only really with them one night meet the rest who join my bus tomorrow coming to south from north. Everyone seems pretty cool. Our driver though THUMPER not really me. A bit too cocky no one seems to like him. Stopped to see a few seals along the way, then got to the town. Spent the afternoon playing Frisbee on the beach. What a cool game. Not played it in years. Was cool running around. Then checked out the local shops. At night we all chilled by the fire and watched a movie. Got free soup too at hostel which was YUM. Free food always a bonus. Us backpackers like that.Next day I was dropped off at a small town called Picton. I was the only one that got off the bus, felt a bit bizarre. New Zealand def seems quiet at this time of year. I went for an afternoon nap. Still catching up on jet lag and being freezing last night didn't help me sleep much. Then I went this huge walk around the Marlbourough Sounds. A really nice walk. Gorgeous scenery. A bit like Lord of the Rings. Not too sure if they filmed here but looks a bit like it. Has a really nice bit where you see all the boats go by.Also went to the pictures saw this really bizarre German movie that had sub titles in english all about the Berlin Wall. Riveting, I must say!The hostel was ace. Picton Villa. I recommend. Really nice people and you get free apple crumble and ice cream at night which was YUM. Couldn't resist. At night everyone hung out in the living room. Was really homely. Sounds really boring but was a laugh there was these huge jigsaws which we done whilst having a laugh with a Japanese girl who was trying to play the guitar. She was funny. Have had the tune in my head all day, she kept playing. Been driving me crazy. X
