Travel Diary - Day 31

Date: 7/2/97
Weather: cold and rainy
Place: Wellington, Taihape

I got up for my 7:30am bus and packed in the dark, then I got a cup of coffee at the cafe in the hostel. Unfortunately, I was not informed that today was one of the two days of the week that River Valley did not get a Kiwi bus. I was literally the only one there aside from the staff when my ride dropped me off. Since it was raining and I couldn't go horse trekking, I went sheep herding for an hour or more. I've never climbed hills so steep and pathless as I did then. The sheepdog was cool, and Jeff brought along his daughter. Luckily, I got a ride back into town and got a $12.00 hotel room in a bar/hostel. I went to bed early.
