Well I can certainly see myself staying here for a while....got an interview lined up for World Bar (where they serve the cocktails in teapots!) and am trying to get work in a hostel where you work for your accommodation too.

They leave on Monday - I'm gonna really miss them but that is all part of travelling :( I'm already missing Jo...

We managed to consume the better part of our rations on day one!!!!! had a really great time and met some lovely people, but the walk is no comparison to the Tongariro. The hu...
