The only
problem with changing drivers is they all say different things. The bus I was
originally on said 7am but the new guy said 7.30 so it was a bit of a guess of
when he was going to arrive. He was very chilled out so didn’t arrive until
7.40 which normally would be fine but most of us had been waiting for about
half an hour wishing we had spent more time in bed.
It took us
a few hours to get there and we had a couple of stops on the way. Our journey
was through the mountains as New Zealand has many volcanoes and quite a few of
them are still active.
We arrived
in River Valley mid afternoon, which gave people enough time to go White Water
Rafting that day. I decided not to do it as I’ve done it before and it gives me
a good excuse to spend my money on new crazy things. River Valley is based in
the middle of nowhere on the west coast of the north island. I went for a small
walk around the place but it was quite a damp afternoon.
For dinner
I decided to eat what they cook at the lodge as our first bus driver raved about
it and said we’d be stupid to miss it. It was only $15, which is about £7.50,
and she was right, the food was incredible! We were served a roast chicken
dinner with roast potatoes, salad, rice and other things.
