Monday 27th

I’m lying over my bed, I’m shattered, spent the day shopping with Anita, it’s so hard going into all these shops, there are so many nice pairs of shoes but there’s no way I could fit anything else into my backpack so I had to walk out without anything! I’m absolutely shattered now, I was a lazy cow this morning and never got out my bed until 12. After Anita and I had finished the bottle of wine we decided to head out, chucked on some decent clothes and some slap and off we went. We ended up in the Stock XChange which was such a laugh, we met three lovely wimmen from Oz, NZ and the US, what a giggle, there was a guy from Sheffield and another lassie from S.A. joined in on the banter too, we had sore stomaches from laughing all night. I have no idea what the doorman must have thought but we made him laugh all night too!! Made it back at around 2am and fell into our bunks!! I think we were trying hard not to giggle. The lassie from Japan that is also sharing with us said I had been singing and talking in my sleep, ooooops!!
Today has been fine although I’m really tired now, I’ve just met Sarah, our new roomie that replaced Karla, she is also travelling on her own, she’s done India, China, Singapore and Oz so no doubt we’ll get some great stories out of her, she is also here until Wednesday. She’s really friendly and seems great to hang out with too, I’ve been really lucky with the people I’ve met so far. I hope it’s the same for when I get to Wanaka!

That's me finally posted this blog up and I'm just about to email you all the address. It was a roaster today, must have been around 24 degrees!! Tonight the new lassie, Sarah, Anita and I met up with the Oz lass from last night and we went to Sticky Fingers for a couple of drinks. We're still a bit delicate from last night!! Just away to head to bed once I've finished faffing about on the internet. My wireless connection isn't great in the hostel so It's easier to come into an Internet Cafe.

Tomorrow should be another fun packed day, We've booked massages and I think I'm going to get my Tragus (bit in my ear) pierced tomorrow. That's if I don't chicken out!!
