Day 151 Wellington-Nelson, New Zealand

Today we were heading over to the South Island of New Zealand and even though I had researched my book a few days previous and not found to much to do here which surprised me, I was actually looking forward to it because theres a lot more walking tracks and mountains in the South Island.
Dennis the American guy who we met a few days previous was joining us in the car today and its always good to have someone new joining us from time to time as it gives us a chance to find out about other peoples travel experiences and Dennis has plenty of those. We set sail on the boat at 1.30pm and eventually got to Nelson around 6.45pm and headed straight to the Paradiso Hostel where we were booked into. We knew Hans the crazy german was staying in Nelson but weren’t sure where and I couldn’t believe it when I put the key in the lock and opened the door and who was staying there opposite me, yes the man himself. We were in fits of laughter and I think the whole of the town heard us and when we did eventually stop laughing the first thing hes does is shake my hand and then thrust a beer in my hand. Things at this point couldn’t get any better as he is such a top class guy and so funny.
Anyway after things calmed down Jill, Simon and myself headed into town to get some food while Hans went to the shop to get some more supplies of beer. By the time we got back to the hostel they had opened up the bus which is in the back garden and is the place to go after 10pm so you are not making lots of noise near the hostel. With the beers flowing tonight quite possibly turned into one of the funniest in ages. There was Hans and his stories especially the police uniform one which on here I cant go into detail in, Dennis and me completely pissing around doing stupid things which also I cant say to much about and then there was lobster girl also know as the girl who was as thick as shit and dizzy as hell and so sunburnt she was asking for the abuse we gave her all night.
Eventually though after all the beers had been drunk things calmed down abit and we all eventually decided to call it a night.
