Oblivion

Due to the boys having rather stringent requirements about where they spend their weekends - basically demanding a large settlement well populated by females, beer and dancing venues, we spent a couple of days here but shamefully I have little to report. After a month of fairly non-stop travelling I decided to treat myself to a short while of nothingness and consequently over-indulged on our first night, slept a lot, and saw very little of New Zealand's capital city. The hostel, however, was definitely noneworthy - a huge YHA, it was more like a Travelodge that a hostel and probably somewhat characterless, but absolutely spotless, and the communal kitchen was worthy of a professional chef. I couldn't stop marvelling at the 'salon professional' hairdryers in the bathrooms, and at the electronic key-cards which automatically locked you out of your room after 10am if you hadn't paid the next night's fee!
