Kaiteriteri (Saturday)

The quiz last night was a really hard quiz but we got free pizza so can't complain too much. There was a paper aeroplane round and a round where you had to shoot a spit ball at the picture of Donald Trump, and depending on where it landed depended on how many points you got. We ended up coming 7th. We were just happy we didn't come last.

This morning we got the bus at 7:30am to go to the ferry across the Cook Straight and onto the south Island. It took about 3 hours and 15 minutes and had nice views of Wellington as we left and the mountains in the south as we arrived. We arrived into Picton abut 12:15 and got onto a bus to take us down to Kaiteriteri on the edge of the Abel Tasman national park. The landscape was absolutely beautiful and our new driver was pretty cool. We have a woman called Helly.

We stopped at a supermarket around 16:50 and did some food shopping. We had to be back at the bus by half 5 but we ended up staying until around 18:10 because the windscreen had to be fixed after being chipped by a huge rock earlier on the drive down.

We arrived at the hostel about 7 and checked in. There's 6 of us in an ensuite room. We met back up with two girls from London we'd made friends with before and all got a room together. We made dinner and then I had a wander by myself down the beach. It's a small, picturesque little beach which was quite nice. Then I came back to the hostel and showered, and then we were all just in the room chatting and having a laugh.
