Lazy Weekend in Franz Josef

So having done the most epic hike in Franz Josef yesterday I decided the rest of my weekend would be pretty relaxed.

I slept in and bummed around for most of the day. Restocked on shampoo and toiletries. Booked accommodation for dunedin which is my last major NZ stop before Australia. So NZ is officially planned and I pretty much just have to show up at this point.

In the afternoon I watched "the rookie" which was a great feel good movie to watch but a little too great... may have ended up with a few happy tears. Got worried at one point someone would walk into the movie room and be like "dude are you okay?" Hahaha.

Other than that I made a few runs to the store for chips, cookies and chocolate milk but nothing else major. Also did a puzzle and played scrabble with a few of the staff members here at the hostel.

Sunday was a really rainy day. I stayed in the hostel and watched ghost Rider. What a terrible movie. I also did my laundry so I'm ready for the next week. Afterwards I met a guy in my room from Liverpool area and a girl from near Venice. They were both working in Australia before coming here so I got some sweet tips on where to go when I get to Melbourne 😊

Afterwards I met Johannes who was from Dortmund Germany who was travelling with Francesca. They are going to wanaka tomorrow so I will tag a ride with them 😊it's quite a small car and someone else might join too so it will be interesting to say the least! I'm also meeting up with Emilie tomorrow in Wanaka so it will be a wonderful week ahead!

For dinner Francesca cooked us all penne with gorbanzo bean sauce which was delicious. Josh supplied the beer and I supplied the snacks. It was a great meal. Afterwards as I was passing reception it turned out that Amy from my first night in Nelson was just checking in! It was nice to see a familiar face. After dinner and a few beers we all set out for a little hike just into the forest. We found a few small colonies of glow worms and they were amazing. It really is incredible how much you can see when the night sky is clear and bright. 😊

Anyways more adventures tomorrow! Goodnight everyone and take care!
