Wellington Condos - Reviews and Rates

Set off on my autumn trip according to schedule. 3 weeks, many cool suggestions, no real plans, oi oi! As is my specialty, getting off was ROUGH. Long story short, just assume that anything involving a ticket, scheduled departure or map was botched and then slapped back into working order in a state of mild panic. But somehow, somehow, here I am...

Kia Ora! (Hello, Take Care, Goodbye, Good Luck, Good Health, and general best wishes in Maori!) We're two weeks into our journey through New Zealand, so we thought we would catch you up on our last fortnight or so. We arrived (tired and sleep-deprived) in the Auckland airport and were greeted by Andrew's Uncle Brian who drove us back to his love...

Fri 30 Jan - Wellington Had decided to spend another day in Wellington rather than race straight up north. Also had read about a dance costume exhibition in Lower Hutt. So after breakfast went up by train. The enchanted forest exhibition featuring costumes from the New Zealand Ballet's Cinderella, Opera's Hansel and Gretel and the Maori dance gr...

Unfortunately the weather put a stop to Matt's skydive at Lake Taupo so we decided to keep going and continue the long drive to Wellington. The drive was was broken up by a few beach stops and another unique waterfall called Huka Falls, with water so blue it looked like the the valley was being flooded with some kind of domestic bleach. It was u...

In the morning Liam, Pete, Tim, Emily, Dave and I played golf which was fun. We had the morning to do as we pleased so sunbathed for awhile after. At lunchtime we got back on the bus and travelled through the gumboot capital of Taihape and on towards the town of Bulls. The names of the shops shows how locals have too much time on their hands e.g...

But what's Wellington like I hear you cry. You've been staying there for several months but hardly shown a picture you say. Well, you're in luck, the other weekend when the sun was shining I did some touristy wandering with my camera. I've also a few photos from a work tree planting trip (gotta love and hug them trees, maaaaaan) and from a korfb...

Today I decided it would be a good idea to head on down to my favourite NZ city - Wellington. So, after a bit of a lie in, I grabbed my bag, jumped in my car and headed out of Palmy in a southerly direction. It was a very pleasant drive down to Wellington, the roads were clear, the sun was making an appearance and the scenery was as always lovel...

Well made it back to Wellington after a slightly breezy crossing. I went on a lord of the Rings Tour yesterday, it really hadn't occurred to me to sign up for one until a couple of people asked if I had and were surprised when I said no, so as the weather forecast was bad thought a day on a coach might be the way forward. And well it was ok, but...

Dec. 6-7 2006 We are now in Wellington the capital of New Zealand. We'll only be here for a couple days then cross the straits to Picton on the south island, then by train to Christchurch. We already have our tickets. We had a surprise when we got to Wellington yesterday. No hotel rooms available. Elton John was having a concert in town. We call...

The Sundeck (deck 9) was closed after a American got hit by such a massiv seaspray (from the waves hitting the boat) that he was weat all the way th...
