Kaikoura
I am now in Kaikoura after leaving Christchurch this morning. Went out last night with a friend for a drink and then headed to bed about 12 only to be up at 6am for my bus.
Had the same driver who took us from Queenstown to Christchurch and I can’t stand him. There are loads of new people on the bus who have started the Kiwi Experience. We arrived at a hostel earlier called ‘Top Spot’ and after hearing some of the tales and seeing it for myself I turned around and went and found somewhere else to stay. It’s quite a posh motel not far from the hostel but it’s like a palace in comparison. Seeing as I am nearing the end of the my trip I am going to stay in nice places rather than the bed bug ridden hell holes that Kiwi Experience put you into!
Not doing anything here in Kaikoura as the weather is so poor. Someone I met a few weeks ago is arriving here tonight so I may meet up with them later.
Heading to Wellington on the ferry tomorrow and have enquired about getting a bus from Wellington to Auckland as I don’t want to go on the Kiwi bus anymore. It will also mean missing Taupo but I have already been there and don’t see the point in staying there an extra night.
Flying home on Sunday so all those at home reading this, see you on Monday!
