a train! not a bus! wow

A 5am start for my 6am shuttle bus to my 7am Tranzcoastal train to Picton this morning. Still, the train makes a wonderful change from the bus - being able to get up and walk around, and even having a spare seat next to me to stretch out on is bliss. Plus, I'm heading back to the Juggler's Rest!

Unfortunately when I arrive it's raining and Nikki the owner has gone away to Wellington for a few days, so it looks like I'll never get to see her fire poi show. But still, coming back to JR feels like coming home in a way. I know where everything is, how it all works - I even have the same bed in the same room. The Swedish WWOOFer Per has left, but two Scottish-English cousins have replaced him, and they're a lot of fun. When I arrive people are juggling inside, out of the rain.

I have two nights at the Juggler's before catching the ferry Wellington, which can best be summed up with: juggling, ice cream, conversation, and music. Perfect before heading to cosmopolitan busyness of Wellington.
