It’s not just raining, it’s pissing it down and them some! And has been since I arrived in the mountain village of Arthurs pass this morning! Village is probably being over optomistic when catagorising a place. It’s basically just a couple of places to stay and a shop that sells almost nothing. The hostel is nice enough but the only people here are all couples and there is no TV! ack! Hope the rain stops soon and I can do a bit of walking.

So far i’ve gone through all my photos and sorted them out, played solitaire a few times and wrote this. I’ve no idea what too do now. Apparently the rain has come from Australia where its been hailed as drought breaking!!

Think I may go and count raindrops on the window – should keep me occupied for an hour or two!!
