Day 27: 27/1/13 As you can tell I've gotten very lazy with photos! I haven't been using my phone for a camera really so the purple is just my camera cover- what you can see when I take a blank picture! Today was a bus day! We left at 6:40 and had a few stops at other hostels in Wellington. It was about 7 when we left Wellington. At around 9 we stopped for coffee/breakfast. I asked for two slices of toast and it took about 20 minutes- I don't think our driver wa...

Day 26: 26/1/13 Today was another tough start!! We were to leave at 8:30 but when we got to the bus he said they had changed the times or something and we didn't need to leave until 9.

The 6 Taiwanese people had been put up in a different hostel and the driver was told they would be brought back by 9am so we could leave. But there was no sign of them, so we...

Day 24: 24/1/13 Today we drove past Mt Cook and the lake near it again. It's gorgeous there as the water is really, really blue due to being formed by a glacier. We drove to Lake Tekapo then which was also really blue and we stopped at a little church overlooking the lake for photos. They also had a statue of a dog in memory of all the working dogs in the area needed for farming. The church was tiny but had a clear glass window behind the altar looking out over ...

Day 23: 23/1/13 It was tough getting up this morning!! Hazel and Jenny were coming on the bus aswell. We had to say goodbye to Andrew but we invited ourselves to Colorado so we might meet again!! Of course he's invited to Ireland and England aswell. I'll definitely have to meet up with the girls too. The bus today was older and much squishier. We had a new driver called Spoon- a non-Kiwi driver. He's English. He seemed to be good enough with bits of information...
