Lazy Day

Saturday 16th February

The only drawback of deciding to travel round New Zealand on an organised tour is that you really don't get anytime to yourself as you are up each morning either exploring, doing activities or travelling to the next destination. Whilst this is fine most of the time it is nice to have a DIY day to sort out your washing, pop to the shops and stuff. I therefore decided to do just that.

I also wandered to the Kurai Park opposite the hostel to check out the boiling mud and sulphur lakes (or more accurately in some cases ponds or puddles). I then spent the evening chatting to the new arrivals in my room and attempting to play cards with two Norwegian girls. Which proved quite interesting when it came to communicating the rules.
