River Valley was our next stop, and it was literally in the middle of nowhere surrounded by sheep and horses. We all had to walk down the steepest hill to get to our accommodation, which was a little lodge and the room was a 32 bed dorm and was basically 4 big beds that you all slept on. Although it sounds a bit disturbing- and it probably is because it used to be known as the orgy room- we actually ended up having a really good nights sleep! There wasn't a whole lot to do there because it's in the countryside but we went for a wander and there was a big swing bridge that we had fun going on. The boys went for an explore up the other side of the hill, if they slipped they would've ended up falling straight down it and into the river it was that steep! The girls headed inside and we chilled for a bit waiting for our roast dinner. We had dinner (wasn't as good as home) and chilled on the sofas playing some games like heads up. We all bonded as a group and it was really nice; there was no wifi either so we had to all entertain ourselves. Later in the evening the workers showed us a challenge where you had to make your way under and over the big wooden table without touching the floor. It proved very difficult as nobody in the group managed to do it- you had to hold on to the top whilst under the table trying to grab the other side; I didn't have a go because I have the worst upper body strength and I knew I would fall flat on my back.
We all headed to bed around 12-1 and had a nice lay in the next morning. Whilst we waited for people to get back from horse riding we all played a big game of volleyball which was so much fun! At around 2pm we begun our journey to Wellington- our last top in New Zealand :(
