Kiwi Bus Arrived

Old Kadizzle is sitting here contemplating his pizza and garlic bread. The Kiwi bus just pulled into the hostel.  The bus unloaded 52 wandering youth. Not sure how this works, but it seems the bus wanders around the south island riding itinerant kids with backpacks.  There must be a lot of dorm like spaces here.  There are multiple kitchens, showers, and other facilities cobbled together in a strange fashion.  The whole thing is reminiscent of the 60's.  The place is done in hippie art deco with murals, strange signs and a bizarre floor plan.  There are signs around that say " We sell sleep" .  The signs warn people to be quiet.  It will be interesting to see how that works out.  No drinking after nine.  If all these kids are going to feed themselves it should be an interesting mess.  At home when Winky mixes up some strange concoction for dinner we call it guample. This group looks like a bus load of human guample.

Kadizzle may have moved a little too quickly and has to burn up about four days on the South Island.  So will have to do some planning.  Again if the weather holds may rent an ebike and check this town out.  There seem to be a few seedy characters on main street.  It is raining, and that is not a good sign for tomorrow.  Today was pretty active and it is nice just to rest.  Have enjoyed meeting new people as much as the scenery and countryside. Life is what you make it.
