Hey guys, well after a gorgeous day in Taupo, we decided that there wasnt much more to there seen as we didnt want to do any more activities just yet, so we hoped back on the bus with the crew ready to head for River Valley! However the night we arrived some of us went to the base bar 'Element' and took part in the most weirdest quiz ever, we jst so happened to win :) so decided to blow our $100 drinks voucher on our last night!!! So we went back to Element and got smashed :) had a really good night dancing like crazy, Lucy was a little more drunk than me, as you will all be able to see from my photos :D It was really random as my sky dive master was in there he was a little forgien guy who was a complete legend, as he not obviously saved my life in the skydive, he danced with us and had photos :) awesome. We left Taupo yesterday (19th sept) to head towards River Valley, and oh my god it was so beautiful, talk about being in the middle of no where in a gorgeous lodge looking out at waterfalls and stunning mountains, totally amazing, by far one of my favourite places, you will be able to see on my photos on facebook (when i get round to it) we took a crazy little pull bridge over the river, which was mighty scary but wicked :) took a little walk up the steep mountains and crossed a waterfall totally beautifull! That night we had a roast dinner with was yummy, just wished there was more, we chilled out infront of an open logh fire while watching the all blacks play australia (rugby) chatted to two guys who were in our dorm, lovely chaps who then played cards with us and the guess who game, which was really funny :).

This morning we left River Valley and finally arrived in Wellington, where the sky was pure blue not a single cloud in sight, its a little nippy here now the sun has gone down, but supprisingly not that windy as wellington is known as the windy city! We took a walk around with our two mates kyle and danny (welsh girls) its lovely here that harbvour is gorgeous and so many food places~!! however we are on a budget so im going to make some pasta now haha true student style!

Were staying in wellington for 3 nights and will then catch the ferry over to the south island, where its meant to be alot colder :s might need to get a hat!!!!!!

Miss you all loads :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
