It was all aboard the kiwi bus and I was in a bad way. I spent most of the journey asleep except for to grumble every time our lovely bus driver Jared spoke. At one point on our journey everyone got off the bus to see a waterfall, unfortunately I wasnt able to move so stayed where I was with a top covering my head and this is how I spent the duration of the first half of the journey. Poor Danz did a great job of making decisions about what we wanted to do while we were at the bay of islands as I wasnt even sure wed even left Auckland. I eventually perked up and went and sat down with Jared to find out some information and just have a chat. He did get concerned a few times that I was going to be sick but I reassured him I wouldnt, I didnt tell him about the last bus Id done with a hangover (Beths hen!!). Jared did mention that I was his favourite on the bus, I still dont know how I managed to get this title but Im not fussed as Im pretty sure it worked in mine and Danzs favour for later in the week. We finally arrived in the bay of islands and it was so pretty, its a lovely sea side town and the lodge we were in was really cute. As we got off the bus we said to goodbye and thank you to Jared to which he replied no problem Chloe Cooper; boozy Susie, hed got to know me so well already!! We were lucky enough to be put in a room with a girl called Poppy, she was sitting next to us on the bus- I grunted to her a few times and she did join us for breakfast which we stopped for on the way and as I was still drunk at this point I was pretty chatty!! After settling into our room the 3 of us decided to get into the swimming pool, when we got too cold we moved into the hot tub and back into the pool when we were too hot! Here we met some more people who were doing the kiwi bus, had the classic backpacker chats of where are you from, where have you been and where are you going? then it was off to our rooms to get ready for the evening of a BBQ and possibly a few drinks...famous last words. Once wed got ready we sat on the deck of the bar next to a couple of girls from near Manchester called Becky and Emma, and little did we know what the evening had in store. As we were sitting and getting to know each other we were, every now and again (probably due to our laughing), joined by other girls on the bus who were also all really nice. Overall the night consisted of the 5 of us drinking like fish (wine and then cruisers which are the NZ bacardi breezers), telling the best stories, abusing each other relentlessly and pulling out the best dance moves you have ever seen (occasionally with our sunglasses on being ibiza ravers obviously)! We laughed so much our faces literally hurt. Unfortunately for Emma, at one point in the evening her mouth was genuinely hurting as the game of smashing the top of peoples bottles got a little out of hand and she ended up with glass in her mouth and a cut tongue, the same game also resulted in Becky cutting her hand. Danz had a sore lady parts cause of different game that also got very aggressive, she genuinely thought she was bleeding but it turns out it shed just dribbled a little bit- either from shock or laughter! Poppy and I somehow, and luckily, remained unharmed. The night and dancing on tables eventually had to come to an end, but not before we got hot dogs from a man who had a set up out of the boot of his car, and we all went to bed dreaming of romance on the blue mountains.
