R & R at River Valley...The Trouble with Trannies

We were due some serious Rest & Recreation before hitting Wellington so we headed for River Valley,a tiny retreat hugging the bottom of a gorgeous ravine.The sun was blazing when we arrived and after stowing the gear in the dorms(2 giant pallet beds for the lot of us)i led the charge to the river.Actually,it was more of a cautious tippy-toe but for those that braved the chilly waters,I Salute You.JW made the greatest impression,tripping arse over tit into the freezing depths.Later we basked on the rocks in the warm sun,soaking up the mexican beers and dodging the Sand Flies.
The next morning we hit Wellington.Base packpackers centre of town.The Horde checked out the bars and settled on the Fat Ladies Arms,officially 'The Best Bar in the World' Jon and me hooked up with a couple of 8ft tall Trannies and when everyone else went back to Base me & Jonno chased the Trannies to the Blue Note Bar.Jons admission he'd happily try anything once left a sour taste in the mouf...try sleeping that one off.After a couple of days we catch the ferry to the South Island.
