Anndion Lodge, Wanganui

Add comment August 9th, 2006

When we went to Wanganui, we stayed at this very cool backpackers - the Anndion Lodge, run by… Ann and Dion. :-)

They don’t make them like they used to, that’s for sure. And it’s great that they don’t! Backpackers used to be almost run-down, with the only available beds being in dormitories, sharing with everyone else. Now, some of them are actually better than hotels, with some awesome features being available, and being able to share it with pleasant company.

7 August - Wanganui

I decided to do the photos the ‘normal way’. Even though the previous post presented the photos in a way that’s ‘agreeable’, I don’t like the fact that viewing the photos actually takes you away from this blog. So I’ll continue with how I’ve been doing them in the past. I’ll leave the previous entry there, but show the photos here as normal. :-)

We went for a walk along the river bank…



Then we climbed a 176-step water tower / lookout to see the view of Wanganui and take some photos…
