Had to get up at half 9 this morning to see if Base had room for us to stay another night. They didn't so about 15 of us all had to try and find somewhere else to stay. Seemed like a pain at the time but definitely worked out for the best, there was a really good hostel round the corner. It was cheaper, cleaner and sooo much better in everyway. And free internet! 8 ofus managed to get a dorm together (no more shifty/smelly French randomer!) which is really nice, so definitely glad were here, especially as me and Mike are in Wellington for 2 more nights. About 15 of us went to the museum in Wellignton, Te Papa. Werren't expecting much as it was free but we'd been told to have a look. It was amazing! Never really been a fan of museums but it was really good! Really high tech, loads of interactive stuff to do, covered all different topics you could think of (had the only giant quid in the world, an earthquake simulator, 3D show... and that was all on the first floor!). Had only seen floor one when we went to get some lunch. A very healthy McDonalds, again! Its so much cheaper than in England and they've everywhere so it's too easy to do. Not good haha. After lunch we walked down the harbour which was a nice walk and went to the skate park which is pretty well known. There was a big skate show on so we got into that, again it was free! It was going on all weekend and we'd gone at the time when some famous over 40 skateboarders were up, they were really good but wish I could have seen the younger guys. Stayed a couple of hours there but left when it started to rain - first bit of rain we've seen. Some people hung around but me, Mike, Sophia, Phil, Ferry and Yaleasa went back to the museum. The other 4 left after a while as Ferry was going to get a tattoo but me and Mike stayed to look round. There was so much to do! Probably mainly for kids but it was fun haha! Everything was so high tech and then there were simple things too, lots of drawing and making to be done. Even got Mike in a pink curly wig! Loads of computers with games and some films to watch too. Couldn't believe it when someone came round and told us they were closing... it was 6! We thought it was about 3 haha! Time flies. Went back to the room and met with the others and all got a Dominos. Again, so much cheaper out here. Was really good :-) Then me, Mike, Ferry, Yaleasa and Cai went out and shared some ShiSha's and did a bit of people watching which was interesting! Went back to the hostle and me and Mike went and sat on the really comfy sofa outside our dorm. Was realllly lovely to just chill out, read him the Goosebumps book I'm trying to get rid of (its a "choose your own scare" so you make choices as you go along... doesn't stop it being rubbish haha!) and ended up falling asleep! Went back to the room as some of the guys were going to watch the football (where they saw Jimmy Nesbit!) and went to sleep :-)
