So much for a white hot christmas, its been windy very windy and frankly very un christmassy. theres no lights up and i think iv only heard one xmas song over the last 3 days! Christmas eve was spent on a bus getting ourselves to wellington- stopping by a place called bulls which was incredibly cheesy as each place was named 'delect-a-bull' (bakery) or 'read-a-bull'(library) GENIUS! so thats was pretty long and uncomfortable journey - we got in about 8pm and sat eating pizza like chavs on a park bench. We went for a few drinks but everything closes seriously early here- like 10.30 so we gave up and went back to our room to create a christams tree and some tinsel and stuff.
Xmas day was pretty normal. around 9 oclock we donned our christmas hats and armed with bats, ball, balloons and fake make up from our secret santa gifts stormed the foyer in a comical fashion to go and make breckie ( eggs and bacon accompanied by a bit of festive champers)
After a short ( and fffreeezing) walk round the harbour we came back ans started on the christmas games ( or should i say drinking games.) It was alot of fun ( ive never been that tipsy before 3pm). Incredibly bizzare mix of people- around 6 we got an xmas bbq which was really just a bog standard bbq but it was free so alll good! so yeah that was pretty much christmas - we danced till dawn and roamed the city came back collapsed then had to get up at 7 to wave doug off. *Then there where 5*. Today was spent remidying hangovers with some retail sales shopping ,a nap and reading of a trashy novel i picked up called apocolipstick, hehehe. Shock of the day was to go into a bakery and find pancakes labelled under flapjacks. FLAPJACKS. Thats just wrong.
Anyways the hostel here is really nice, people are lovely and wellington is very nice when the suns shining! Hope you all had a good one!!
