Lazy morning which was nice for a change...then headed over to the rafting place only to be told it might not even run as they hadnt had enough bookings confirmed as yet.
I was only partially saddened by this fact as it was about -1 degrees at this time and i was questioning why i had thought this su…

TUESDAY was my first ever, one and only (drum roll insert) ski experience. It was actually a load of fun and i could have gone back the next day but my calves would never have let me. ouch. Me…
Kia Ora! Its pretty cool the way there seems to be only one maori language (as opposed to our Aborigines) and how many non-maori kiwis know at least a few phrases or words of it. Ive also had …
We caught the coach from Waitomo around lunch time to Rotorua, arriving around 3pm. Eric (american) and I then headed around Rotorua checking out the stink (!) and the area, for the next 3 hou…
Well, Saturday am was an early start, caught a coach to Waitomo only to discover that it is a town with 3 eateries, and wait for it, an equal number of bars (one in each!).
Nice enough place,…

The service was terrible, the living quarters were reminiscent of a concentration camp and the food was disgusting. (35630)

sorry to say but the worst hotel i have ever been too, no kitchen, loud, there was bugs in my bed and looking back i should have asked for my money back. i dont trust hi hostels any more and i have worked for the yha so i do know what iam talking about
so... horrific! but on the other hand, those guys really wanted their money back, and they only paid about $26. i don't know, liz. do i want to sleep in conditions reminiscent of a concentration camp for $26?

Boo to you too tam! Hi Bec and laursie! mmmm fooood. Silai is great, so are all the other people but theyre practically all kiwis and the accent is actually really hard to understand, im constantly like 'WHAT'?! Went to dinner last night with the whole committee (50 people) to this chinese restaurant in SkyCity which is like our star city - its a casino, bar, hotel, conference, theatre complex. Its nice, but drinks werent free (even softdrinks!):(
