It's 10.54pm in wellington at the moment and it's so busy at the moment, as the rugby seven are on this weekend-so it's means lot's of people dressed in various fancy dress outfits generally having a good time and drinking lot's. Unlike myself obviously...went out last night-wellington has a good nightlife but giving it a rest tonight as got to catch the ferry over to the South Island tomorrow @ 7am (yawn!!). Weather's been lovely today-bright sunshine, which makes a change from yesterday-when it was really overcast and rained all afternoon-not that i was too bothered as i was stuck travelling on the bus for 5 hours from River Valley. River Valley Lodge where we stayed was basically in the middle of no-where, surrounded by lush green hills and a river running right outside the front door.There wasn't a great deal to do there apart from white water rafting (gave that one a miss this time!) and horse riding-so only stayed there for one night! Over the last week or so-spent another day in Taupo-although the 8 hour trek-the Tariongo Crossing that we were meant to start at 5.30am!!! was cancelled again because of expectant bad weather so we decided to head out of Taupo-on the way stopping at the National Park to do our own mini trek to some lovely waterfalls-stopping for lunch etc. Turned out to be a lovely day so we were pretty annoyed that the "proper trek"' had been cancelled-but cést la vie-atleast it meant my legs didn't ache the next day. Hoping back on the Kiwi bus with Dave (the mad bus driver) for the drive to River Valley....stopping again @ various waterfalls to do abit of jumping into the crashing waster of the falls-great fun!
