My goal for today was to climb Mt Victoria and go hunting for some LOTR filming locations.
On the way up to the top I happen to pass by a german from the first hostel I stayed in, so I went up with him to the top (There are a lot of germans travelling in New Zealand).
After reaching the top I decided to ditch him and his friend to look for the filming location. It was pretty difficult to find since I didnt really look up where it was exactly. I eventually found it by following the road until I saw a tour bus parked in one area. I followed them to get to the location and waited for them to leave to take some pictures and geek out on my own.
After my little geek moment I went back to the hostel and got ready for a bar crawl that was set to happen that night. This made it so easy to meet new people. The first bar was a nice chill sit down bar. 30 dollar pitchers... yeh expensive... the next bar was a fancy lounge, also with expensive beers so I stuck with buying just one glass. The next bar was a bar with a live band, and the last bar was actually a club. It was an interesting night with full costume pirates... and beer... and yeah.
I met 2 canadians, 1 french, 1 swedish, 3 germans, and 1 brazilian.
