Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 6:32 amWell guys unfortunately no pics from my weekend away in the capital but an amusing story to tell indeed.
Day One - Climbed aboard the bus after finishing my last 12 hour shift for the week settled in had a bit of a sleep when upon waking up I find myself in Rotorua well Im pretty sure my ticket stated Wellington oh well back to sleep I went half way along the Desert Road my pocket started vibrating oh no I thought go away Im trying to sleep and turns out its my boss now Im thinking Crapple he wants me back there ASAP and there goes my whole weekend luckily he just needed to know when I was due back so that was all good I finished talking to him and went back to sleep.
Day One 20:00 - Arriving at the train station I rushed in and spoke with the most arrogant "prickle" at the ticket desk who made me miss the last train and left me with no other option but to catch a taxi to Lower Hutt $35 later Im at the motel and finally able to continue my sleep - End of Day One.
Day Two - Get a txt from the girl I have gone down to see asking if I wanted to go shopping with her and a friend thinking ah yeah ok why not I walked into the CBD to meet them well that part was alright but when I caught up with them I was a little shocked to say the least when I found out she wasn't 18 like she had told me oh no she was a few years younger after recovering from my damn near coronary on the footpath I thought well Im here now I may as well go with them little did I know I was going to be dragged to every chick shop, bra and undies shop and make-up shop in the mall we said our good-byes and I asked myself can this trip get any worse the answer is "HELL YES".
Day Two Part 2 - Settling in back at the motel I had been sitting down for no more than 10 minutes when I got a knock on the door it was the owner of the motel requesting I speak with them in the office now thinking "oh crapple what have I done why are they kicking me out and where will I stay tonight" little did I know all they wanted was my room and they were going to transfer me to a Hotel in the CBD and pay the additional cost of it hehehe + a bar tab "sweeeet" I'll leave the next part out about the 2 visitors and carry on.
Day Three (Final Day) Well thinking the worst of it was over I was invited to go for a walk with this girl and her dogs so we could chat by this time its late afternoon and Ive been carrying my heavy bag all day and my shoulders suffering after our walk we sat and chatted for a while about the visit that night before - Blank - Well back into Lower Hutt I headed knowing exactly where to go but giving myself some extra time should something not go quite to plan and sure enough it did I was supposed to get off at the central station and realised I was nowhere near it when I saw a sign that read "Wellington Airport This Way ------>>>" feeling like a right royal moron I admitted to the driver I was completely lost and that this was my first time in Wellington ever time was ticking on and Im starting to think Im going to miss the bus back to Hamilton so at 19:10 I finally get to the Train Station only to get lost trying to find where my bus would be leaving from don't worry I got back to Hamilton just fine at 05:00.
I honestly thought it was going to be a smooth relaxing weekend away but now all I can do now is look back and laugh at how much of an idiot I made of myself hahahaha happy travels guys who woulda thought I'd get lost in our own Capital City I'll be back down again in a few weeks I will try catch up with some of you guys next time.
