Hya all!
Having a completely lazy day so thought i'd come on and try n pick up where soph ended.
So after our EXTREEM waterfall jump we were treated to a lovely roast cooked by all the staff at the cutest hostel we have ever stayed in. It was one huge bunk bed for all of us which was rather hilarious! and a pretty early night as we could still feel the snow water on our bones....MAN WE R EXTREEM! ( recurring theme here!)
Next day we were greeted by blue skies which was a blessing and i went off white water rafting with 2 other girls from the bus. It was a wicked day and much rougher than the rafting we'd done in Rotorua, quite scary at times especially when the raft guide accidentally on purpose tipped our raft under a waterfall, extreem! Back on the bus we headed to El Capital...Wellington - the windiest city i've ever been to. Visited the interactive Te Papa museum which was pretty cool but obviously not as extreem as we are becoming so used to! ( sorry guys, i promise i'll stop using that word at some point!) Then in the afteroon i headed up to Mt Victoria for wicked views of the city and soph took a cable car up to a zoo in search of kiwis, not sure if she found any, i'll have to ask.
Took a boat over to the South Island after 2 days in Wellington and it was a gorgeous crossing, clear blue skies and not a bit of sea sickness as we had been warned. Emabarked and were taken on a free wine tasting afternnon which was great and got us all a bit tipsy for the evening. Not really sure if they expected us to buy anything but we took full advantage of the freebies in true backpacker style!
Nelson: 14 of us hired cars and drove to the Abel Tasman National Park then hired Kayaks and did some extreem kayaking - we even managed to make it off the map which caused a passing speed boat to follow us and advise us if we kayaked any further we'd be in Oz - extreem hey! Then stopped at Nelson Port on the way back for some fush n chups! Yum!
Will ad some photies soon and finish off the blog, we'll know not to leave it so long next time hey!
Ciao for now xxx
