So today we had an early start to catch our boat to head to the south Island. We drove to the ferry terminal an jumped on a big boat. The boat is an old channel runner from Portsmouth in the UK, must have been a long trip over here for it. So we sailed out of Wellington harbour and into the open ocean for a while. We all fell asleep but when we woke up we saw the first chain of Island that mark the northern coast. They were stunning, I thought we were pulling into port but we were only half way there. We had a trip through these island looking up on each side up to huge cliffs, it felt very surreal as everything was so green and the water looked like oil.
Once we jumped off the boat we went to meet our coach along with 100 others. We’d had another bus added to our convoy to cope with the amount of people now going down the coast. We have a new driver for the South Island, Pascalle replaced GP. She has some more personality than the other guy though he is driving the other bus. So he’s still around.
So we drove to our accomodation. This place was voted best hostel in New Zealand, it was a very nice place to spend the night. We took a walk to the Geographical centre on New Zealand which was conveniently located on top of a very steep hill. We took photos and all the necessaries and walked to the shops for dinner. We headed off to the Karaoke bar for some bad singing fun and took over the place.
Apart from that, today was quite uneventful.
