After a good night out in Wellington we got up pretty early feeling rather sorry for ourselves and boarded the ferry over to Nelson in the South Island. Most people spent the 2 hour ferry journey sleeping but me and a few others who get a bit sea sick sat at the back to play cards and take our mind off the swaying. Once at the other side we got onto our new bus with our new bus driver, Kane who was really fun and however irritating the morning song he played every morning was I'm sure that song will remind me of that trip every time I hear it...good morning, good morning, we've talked the whole night through, good morning, good morning to you!
Our next hostel was a bit weird and with the weather being yet again rubbish we didn't do much, however, that night we did head out to watch a rugby match between the Highlanders and the Crusaders. It was pretty cool to see a rugby match in New Zealand, the atmosphere was great. The next morning we headed off to our next destination, Westport where the weather was again rubbish so again we didn't really do much. We did stop off at a lake on the way however which from the kiwi experience broucher seems to be the place to get typical travelling photos of groups of people jumping into the lake but as it was freezing and there were massive eels swimming around we didn't really fancy. 2 of the guys manned up and jumped in coming out pretty pink and shivering but we got some good pictures. That evening we were going to head out to the local pub for a game of killer pool but after that was cancelled we spent the night in our room telling embarrassing tales and maybe heard a few too many from some people (New Zealand guys you know who I'm on about!!) although I'm not sure we would have had such a laugh without those notorious stories.
