Kia Ora!!! (in English... Hello, How are you??)

Hope everyone is ok... and things are good back home!!

Sooooo what have we been up to?? Well after spending a HORRIBLE night in Wellington, we are now in the South Island. Wellington itself was a nice place and we were really lucky being there the day of the Cuba Carnival... there was loads to do and see but because it was soooooooo busy we got stuck in this nasty dorm room with really smelly people... I didnt sleep at all that night. we got up before 6am because we just wanted to get out of there.. and we needed to catch the ferry to south island at 8am. So I cant really tell you about the ferry... as I slept the whole three hours.. woke up at the end and took some good piccys tho!! We docked in Picton and travelled to Nelson... and stayed at a beautiful hostel... really made up for the night before!!! We stayed in Nelson for 2 days... and had a really great time exploring and doing a bit of shopping!! (YES!!!!) We also found these really nice chinese gardens that we spent loads of time at because it was just so beautiful.

Today we travelled down the west coast to a little place called Westport.. which is cute... but not a great deal to do... but its nice to chat to people and get to know some of the people on our bus... as the people on the bus before have gone their own ways.

Tomorrow we are heading further down the coast to a tiny hostel run by a 83 year old man... who is a legend... or so they say!!!

And so the journey continues!!!

Loads of love
