Hi everyone, We left Westport behind and headed for the Poo pub or its real name lake Mahinapua. On the way to the infamous Poo pub we stopped off at Tauranga bay where we did a coastal walk which took about 40 minutes, this is where the theme for the fancy dress party was revealed...............BAD TASTE.

Hey people, We left the adventure capital of the north island behind and headed for a small isolated place called river valley which was a cosy hostel situated right on the river bank. This hostel was excellent we had a room all to ourselves and they did home cooked cakes, it reminded me of a log cabin that you would use in the mountains; skiing. It seemed very coincidental that this place had a spa and it just so happens that everybody was aching off that mam...
