Its been a while since i have been on here lol =D...anyways i left on Monday morning from Taupo on the Kiwi Experience bus which is sweet as (New Zealand's form of awesome!) haha, anyways joined the bus only to be called up by the driver rangi-red face after introducing myself, etcetc, and nicknamed the kiwibus virgin for the day-just what i always wanted! haha, anyways was a great day and got to know quite a few different people-group from uk, james, claire and michelle really nice people, another claire, nurse and a dutch girl. And the girl who helped me out-sweet as stacey!

anyways, we headed off, stopping off on various lord of the rings filming bits-plus taranaki falls, some of us decided to do the 2 hour walk out whilst others played golf! Was an amazing sight, really beautiful country! Saw various volcanoes of which i cant remember the names, most of which are still dormant. Stopped off for the evening in River Valley-secluded spot, no internet, phones or reality lols, really is in the middle of nowhere! Choice of horse riding or rafting-i went with the white water rafting haha! Had an amazing dinner-farmhouse roast as they call it!

Spent the rest of the evening in the barm with the dutch girl and also 2 guys who have been travelling across africa. Early start, packed up, kitted out in wetsuits, thermals etcetc! Haha, off we went rafting, was awesome...only one to fall out, out of the 3 boats, fell out 3 times, and then smashed my paddle on a rock! Nice =) great photos though! Haha, headed for a hot shower, changed and then we were on the road to wellington, arrived for st patricks day, therefore everybody on the bus was covered in green paint (most of them looked like they had bathed in the stuff!)...anyways off for a few drinks with some people. Then supermarket, stock up on supplies, cook dinner and then bed!

YHA had no beds tonight so its BASE again, just down the street, sharing with 3 guys who have stunk the room out already! Haha, caught the bus up to the cable car museum this morning, and then walked through the botanical gardens back into the city-stopped for morning tea on the way! Just happened to find the main shopping bit in Wellington so a few hours later....no more words needed! Besides its nearly the end of the trip =D...next to Te Papa, great museum, earthquake simulator is sweet as! paid to go in the monet exhibition which was great, havent seen that many of his works before....
