I just had a lot of fun.

The hostel I’m staying at has a radio station. And they let all the guests here have complete control over what’s played. And so just now, like 5 minutes ago, I finished up an hour long set of music from the northwest. I’m happy to say that Karamea, population 700, just got to hear M Women, Gazzelle and Iji. And a bunch of other NW bands off my iPod.

This place is amazing. Come to Rongo Backpackers. There is no disappointment, even on gross, rainy days like today.
