We go into the room and it's like a sleepover room from when I was 15. There were 4 sets of bunk beds...like the cheap metal squeeky ones..haha. Shelly and I started throwing our bags around and trying to find an empty bed. That's when I heard someone say.."Canada"....ahhh! I turned around and there was a guy sleeping (well he had just woken up..or I should say we JUST woke him up. Then I heard another voice of a girl and we were like "we are sooo sorry for waking you up". She was so sweet. We all became "insta friends". We started chatting about Canada and turns out that they are from Vancouver. Shelly and I asked them if they wanted to come out for a beer with us and they said that they were too tired. So while Shelly and I tried to peice ourselves together with a bit of make-up and some deodorant (yes we are classy like that) we exchanged stories of where we had been and where we are going. They had been in the north and arrived in Wellington after an 11 hour bus ride. They were actually heading to Queenstown as well, so I started to get Marina's information so we could meet up with them one night. That's when I used my Sales experience to get them to come out. (Thanks Carly! You would have been proud :)
Here's how it went down:
Me: So.....are you sure you don't want to come for a drink with us?
Marina: Naw..i'm really really tired.
Me: Are you sureeeeeeeee? I mean..we are only here for 1 night...I heard there are wicked bars here!
Marina: nawww.....I don't think so..
Me: Well we have to get up at 5:00 am to catch a ride to the airport, and we will just go out for 1 or two. Common..you guys are awesome! Let's go explore and have some fun
Marina: I dunno...I'm not really ready to go out.
Me: who cares! We are gross from sitting on a bus, and I am wearing lulu's and running shoes....commonnnnnn....!!
Marina: ok, fine :) Jonny (her friend) get dressed, we are going out!
Shelly & I: Hooorayyyyyyyy! Success!!
So they get dressed and then we head out. We heard some loud music, so we instinctively followed that, but when we finally got to it, it was up in someones apartment..hahah. whoops!
We were walking down the street and Jonny asked some chick what a good bar to go to, and she directed us in the right direction. We went in, got a drink and set up shop in this little booth- with full view of the dancefloor. haha. We had prime seating for what we think was "dress up in your worst clothes from the 90's, get as drunk as you can, and dance so weird that it makes onlookers feel uncomfortable"..haha, It was epic We basically sat and had our own show, Marina and Jonny were awesome. They were just like us and we all got along great. We made plans for them to stay in the same hostel as us and we would party with them for the weekend. We were wwoofing with a woman named Sue for the week, and then heading into the hostel for the weekend as Sue's house was about 20 minutes from town.
We stayed till last call and then headed back to the hostel...i mean...LIE! Where do you think we headed first? Obviously McDonalds! yeahhhhh!!! We watched a fight almost break out over spilled McNuggets, stuffed our faces and then headed back to the hostel.
When we walked into the room it smelled like farts and boy sweat. The 4 German boys were sleeping (it was about 2:30 am at this time). We tried to be quiet, but getting up on the top bunk of that bed was like a squeeky dog toy...and then we would start laughing. Oh wait, before that Jonny and I watched one of the German boys scratch his butt for like 5 minutes..and he was groaning..hahahahah! I was dying..and kinda drunk so it was wayyy funnier! (Is funnier even a word? Well..it is now!)
We would all start to laugh, and then a German guy would grunt, and then we would be quiet, and then we would laugh again. Anyways, when the alarm went off at 5:00 am...I really wanted to die. We were sooooo tired, but it was so worth it. Last minute random nights are always the funnest (hmmm, is THAT a word?..sweet jesus I am making my own language- Stop judging me!)
Our shuttle bus thing pulled up and we were on our way to the airport. It was so cool to get to meet Jonny and Marina and have new friends to party with when we get to Queenstown.
Oh.....and when we first got into our room, and were mid story telling jonny and Marina about the Cockroaches...swear to fucking god...one was walking across the room...WTF?!?! They followed us! Bastards! If that cockroach was a person, Shelly would have beat the shit out of him..and I would have feared for his life. haha!
Wellington...you are fun :)
xoxo
