Probably the least eventful day so far, despite one truly bizarre incident. Woke up still angry from the night before's events yet bid an emotional farewell to the Nelson crew, was genuinely gutted to be leaving them. Landed at Wellington airport and wasn't expecting the gale force winds when I stepped off the plane…hence windy-Wellington! With no accommodation pre-booked I headed to the YHA hostel as it had the best reputation in town. Unfortunately I had forg...

With my body aching from the party hard abuse since meeting up with Chris et al I decided that today would be booze free and very relaxing. Arrived in Wanaka and was blown away by the views around the lake. Despite being knackered decided to go for around around the lake so I didn't turn into a complete fatso. Without a doubt the most spectacular and beautiful place I have ever been running. It was the perfect place to relax and soaked up the sunset over the ...

We had a vote on the bus for the best costume of the previous night and I came second behind a bloody strawberry!!!!!! Not even me rigging the voting by voting for myself worked as I lost by 2 votes.

Today we were heading to the infamous 'Pua Pub' for our fancy dress party. The theme picked was the first letter of your first or last name with the best dressed w...

Woke up feeling decidedly unwell from the night before but before the bus left I decided to ring the Abel Tasman coach company to see if my fleece was in lost property, which miraculously it was! Our new bus driver Flea said I had enough time to go and fetch it from their office and so had a nice hungover run there and back…not what was called for. Did have a cracking Burger King for breakfast at the first stop though, despite having lost the power to eat and d...
