Day 7 27th Nov 2009
The start of my Kiwi Tour!
I was really excited when i woke up. I caught the bus at 8.30 outside my hostel and there were alot of people waiting and luckly a few people i had seen about the hostel so knew some friendly faces. Once on the bus we all introudused ourselves to eachother over the bus headset (which was really embarrasing but it broke the ice! lol.
On the bus we head to Whitianga - Mercury Bay. The journey took about 2hours. When we arrived some of us did the Kayaking (me) and a few just sunbathed. On our kayaging adventure it involved us being out at see for 4 hours! (my arms were killing me at the end but it was really worth it.). We rode to 2 island that we way out from the shore. One of the bays we headed to on one of the island was called Rays Bay. When we got there we rode quite close to the shore and looked down and there were loads od sting rays. That was amazing to see!.
After the 4 hours we headed to the becah for an hour sun bathing and then headed to the hostel on a ferry. The hostel was really really nice. it was like a huge house that had lots of rooms. It had a bar, pool table, telly room, computer room, it was just really nice. We had spag bol cooked for us by the hostel owners and a free beer so yum yum.
I've made loads of friends and its just so amzing to know people from all over the world. I've made a really good friend called Charlotte from Holland. She;s really funny and has really helped me settle into Backpackers life lol (she got experience as shes been traveeling for 8 months lol).
