New Zealand

I arrived in NZ, Queenstown and was stunned by the beautiful scenery. Defiantly one of the most beautifully views I had seen since I got there. I got the buss to the town in QT and went hostel hunting, after walking around for about an hour and only finding hostels with no rooms left, I went to an information centre and found the last available hostel, but it was right at the top of a hill. At this stage I was regretting bringing so much stuff. 2 backpacks one on the front one on the back, a tent, a full size guitar and 3kg of preteen powder I picked up for Vanuatu as my diet there will have very little meat in it.


The hostel was great, free wifi and beautiful views of the lake and the mountains from up on the hill and only a 10min walk into town. I went into a 8 bed dorm and met 7 bearded guys from israil…..awesome actually I met a lot of people from israil while I was in NZ I found out later its there no1 travel destination. Anyway all of them were pretty cool and two played the guitar and could tune my guitar for me as I had lost my tuner.

I stayed 3 days in queens town taking part in adventourous sports. Jet boating, canyon swinging, rafting and mountain biking. It was epic. Next I headed on a buss to christchurch (10 hours) but half way the buss stopped at a place called lake wannaka and I saw skydives advertized for 150 nzd, very cheep so I got off there instead did the skydive
Next day I went to christchurch, bussy city just had an earthquake so many hostels were closed due to building damages, anyway I found one in the end, I also met a swiz guy on the buss who we went looking for hostels with, he had just come back from thailand so we were swapping a lot of travel stories. I stayed in christchuch 2 nights and then headed off to pickem where I could get a ferry to wellington. WOW wellington is very bussy but also a very interesting city, I would compare it to London. I went up a ski lift for views of the city, what a view!

The next day I headed to Tauronga where my Great Uncle was going to pick me up and take me to KatiKati, he said I could stay with him for a couple of days. It was verry interesting to meet him, he was very knowledgeable about travel and New zealand we had lots to talk about. He Kindly drove me to Auckland a couple of days before my flight to my teaching placement on Vanuatu.

I chilled in auckland a couple of days staying in hostels, on my last net met the first guy I had met who spoke Spanish! Finaly, he was pretty cool ended up hosting a hostel party in my room, got some whyskey vodca and mixes and drunk chilled played the guitar in my room with 3 German girls a spanish guy and a french guy, it was a fun night. I then headed off to the airport to fly to Vanuatu. I was very Excited.
