Today I got up at 7:30 am to catch my bus at 9:20 am from Taupo to Wellington. We had been waiting for 2 hours (two English girls and me)  at the bus stop, no bus had showed up, when we decided to go to the I-Site (visitor information center) and called Nakedbus. They apologized for their mistake, and we were booked without extra-charging fee for the first bus tomorrow. So we went to check in at the Base hostel for another night. The girls were called Heli (21) and Josie (24). We spent a nice evening together, and went to a Turkish restaurant. We had a meal called cish- grill-plate which was really delicious.

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the hostel I enjoyed good conversations with the two girls, who are sisters. At about 9 pm I went to the bar of the hostel and enjoyed a great night celebrating my 21. birthday.

 

 

 

 

The next morning I got up at 9:30 am, checked out at the hostel and Heli, Josie and I went to a nice cafe to enjoy my wonderful birthday breakfast.  I had a muesli with fruits and joghurt.  For drinking I chose a hot chocolate.

 

 

 

 

 

Today the bus showed up in time, and I met the two German girls in the bus again. It was quite funny and we had a good time on the bus ride.

 

When I arrived in Wellington I checked in at my hostel and did my laundry. Tomorrow I will call Tradestaff to get a job as soon as possible down here in Wellington.
