Last week at Nomads Capital Backpackers Hostel we said good bye to two of our fav’s. Gavin, our super fantastic Night Auditor, and Déborah the best kitchen WFA and fill in cook we’ve ever had. On their last night Déborah managed to break a light fixture not 30 seconds after walking into the bar, and then while doing Blend Bar’s infamous Jägermeister Shot Ski (provide by our other fantastic Night Auditor Jo) she managed to drop and shatter the shot glass. Maybe 30 minutes after that she got really excited by, well I’m not sure what but you know those French ladies and talking with their hands. Well she managed to fling a drink out of someone else’s hand and smash that one too. Words of wisdom from yours truly… Gavin don’t let Déborah near any more glass items. Oh and Déborah don’t let Gavin near your wardrobe, we know how he likes to dress up. I already miss them and I’m sure everyone else at Nomads Capital Backpackers in Wellington does too.

And we can’t forget the other wicked Nomads Capital staff members and regulars that have left us in the past month. In this photo all but one (Marian) have left us… to go wander the world and try new things. From all of us at Nomads Capital Backpackers Hostel good luck and have fun!

We at Nomads Capital Backpackers Hostel in Wellington are getting our Mullet wigs and leather pants ready for the Rock n Roll party this Friday night (28 November) at Blend Bar. I’ve dusted off the leopard print tights and have been rocking out to my favourite “Hair Bands” in preparation for a night that is to be truly fantastic! Best Costume wins a FREE Stray Travel Pass

Our Latin Party at Nomads Capital’s hostel bar Blend last Friday night went long and loud. We got more noise complaints than we ever have and frankly I’m quite proud of that. Even the non Latin folk came out for the fun.

People were partying into the wee hours of the night in the bar, and then dancing in the streets long after that. A great party was had by all. We found Lenny in the Lounge at Nomads Capital Backpackers the morning like this.
