It's rainy here today and so that is a good reason to write a new blog for you all. We are currently staying in Paihia which is small seaside town that is full of tourists. Most of the people who visit only stay for a few days as there isn't that much to do. Most people go on a dolphin cruise or go skydiving or parasailing. But for us, and all the other 'longtimers', we spend a lot of time just chilling out.
A typical day for me starts with getting up (always a good start) at 9 -930am and having a black coffee (saves on buying milk) and a kiwi. Then from 10-12 we clean the hostel and change all the beds that need to be done. (we are working for our accommodation at Bay Adventurer Hostel and Resort which means we are spending very little money!!) Then I'll have some food. Maybe some toast or noodles. After going in the shower I usually go for a walk and find a nice quiet spot on the beach. I stayed for hours ready and playing Ukulele here the other day.....
... and I was the only person there.
I also sat here.....
the views are pretty cool!
After a few hard hours of doing nothing I'd usually head back to the hostel and cook some dinner. Maybe some pasta or noodles (nodes are good). And then chill out with the guys with a few beers (even Rachel has started drinking beer). If it's a nice evening we'll all sit outside and chat the night away and if it's a bit cold we'll chill whilst watching a movie. Unfortunately the hostel only has about 30 movies on their hard drive so I've seen Superbad about 20 times since being here.
As I said the weather is rubbish here today so everyone is just chilling in their rooms or playing board games.
Ciao for Now
Jess
