clo_againI have Disapproval (I want to find that glaring baby 'DISAPPROVAL: YOU'LL KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT" macro to link to there but I don't want to open all the Google pages to find it, as will be explained shortly) for my hostel's wifi system. Every other hostel I've been in has had a time-based system, so you pay for how long you're on and get unlimited access in that time. Simple. While writing long LJ entries, I could simply log off then log back on to post. If wanted to Google the weather tomorrow, I could go through a million weather pages as long as I did it quickly. Sorted.
Except in this hostel (which in every other way is wonderful, so I'm a little bitter that they come with a BUT) operates a per-megabyte system. Which means EVERY SINGLE PAGE I LOAD, including for LJ comments, to upload pictures to Facebook (which ate a comparatively huge chunk of my credit yesterday so y'all can wait for pictures for a few days. Especially since my hostel in Franz Josef potentially has FREE INTERNET *glees*) logging into LJ eats my credit. It's insane. I might actually just stick to the hostel's own computers which are $2 for half an hour (cheaper than the north island!) but they won't let you put photos on them. Sigh.
I'm mainly sulking because the ferry trip yesterday somehow turned from a grey, slightly bumpy ride into a sunshine-filled turquoise millpond of prettiness, and today I did a four hour (it turned into five and a half hour walk when we hung out on the beach for ages because it was so beautiful) walk through Abel Tasman National Park, so I have many pretty pictures waiting to eat my internet.
(There's a guy playing guitar and singing about searching New Zealand for chocolate pudding, because we get free chocolate pudding here every night. This hostel is *hilarious*.)
Tomorrow I am going horse riding for the first time in seven years. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES. Possibly involving bruises.
I have to post this quick now before GNW downloading eats my remining megabytes and I can't buy anymore until tomorrow because reception is closed. Woe for silly internet.
