Onwards to Windy Welly!

We waited around at River Valley until 1300 as half of the bus (3 people!) went horse riding. I nearly went but my thighs were still aching from my other horse experience! We had lunch there at 12 - bangers and mash! River Valley does the best home cooked food!

We drove straight through to Wellington only stopping once at Bulls which is famous for having shop names like collecta-bulls, antiqua-bulls!

In Wellington I checked into Base http://www.basebackpackers.com and went out to get some supplies - mainly a starbucks! I went out for a few drinks with the bus lot but crawled into bed quite early as travelling on a bus takes it out of you!
