Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is good!
Everytime I've been at a computer recently I've been doing my application so haven't wanted to sit any longer!
Anyways, We left Franz Josef and did the 10hr bus ride to Nelson. It went surprisingly quickly although we had to go back through Greymouth (BOO!!!), we stopped off ALOT on the journey was kinda annoying. Although we did stop off at the Pancake rocks which was really cool! They are huge rock formations that are called the pancake rocks because they look like lots of stacks of pancakes! Should really be called Stacks of Pancakes rocks but there you go. The sea was fierce that day, was really cool, it was slamming up against all the rocks!
We finally arrived in Nelson and checked into our YHA, some weird thing about the online booking system meant we were in separate rooms for the first night but we moved for the second. I was in a female only dorm, I just don't really get female only dorms. Why do the girls not feel safe in a mixed dorm? Especially in New Zealand in a YHA?
Anyways, I spent most of the next day doing my application, then we headed to the beach. It was SUCH a nice beach, I think its the nicest so far! Rob went swimming and I read then we went and had dinner in the pub cause it was our midway point that day! After that we went back to the beach to see the sun go down, missed the start of it though! But it was sooooo pretty, I took sooooooo many photos! lol! Then we wandered back to the hostel via a bar to have another drink.
Today we got up earlish and got the 10.15am coach to Picton. We boarded the interlander ferry to Wellington from there. It was a really pretty (but cold) journey, we spent the part through the sound outside on the top deck and then went inside when it got to open ocean. We both managed to fall asleep for a bit as well. It was a really lovely ferry ride, although I don't think we saw it at its best because it was a bit of a grey day.
When we arrived in Wellington we headed over to our hostel. Which is interesting, lol! The hostel is really nice but the people in our dorm obviously live there all the time so it felt like we were walking into someones room. Was a bit horrible to start with but getting used to it, as long as there nice it'll be fine. The hostel itself has a really nice atmosphere and is really clean so all good. We're not actually gonna be spending much time there anyway with the cricket.
Wellington looks really cool, I wanna go to the sanctuary wildlife place and to the Te Papa museum. We headed to the supermarket to stock up but tonight we're heading out to grab a bite to eat and a few drinks!
Really looking forward to the cricket tomorrow! My first match (I just had to check it was actually called a match!). I'll report tomorrow!
Lots of Love,
Sarah xxx
