I joined the Intercity Coach in Nelson at 8:30am and made my way to Christchurch. The journey was long but lovely, the views were amazing! We stopped in a few places before arriving late afternoon. I stayed one night in a hostel called Kiwi Basecamp which was nice enough, sorted out all my things then headed the next day to the airport! Excited! I met Aiden after his 30hr flight from home, very excited! So happy to see him!! The weather was terrible though (I...

WELLY WELLY WELLY! We arrived in Wellington on a rather cold day! The roads and pavements were white from hailstone/sleet so we decided to chill out around the hostel for the rest of the afternoon, apart from the quick walk out to find a supermarket.
