I'm afraid I haven't got much to add since the first entry, as Emma has been working full time and I have been wasting time waiting for the bar jobs to open up. I had my first trial at a posh bar called 3C on Friday, and it went well, but I'm still waiting to hear from them to see if I've got a job. Tomorrow (Monday) I have another trial at a r...

13/5/08 Wellington. We drove all down here with no more problems with the car. We went straight into a place the Spaceship have some deal with and they replaced our battery in 20 minutes - dean managed to reverse into another car but no damage was done (we think!) We then headed off to a hostel with campsite (the best way of sleeping for us), Ed...

Well today was my birthday - woke up in Wellington having travelled here yesterday to avoid too much hectic racing down for the ferry this morning. Not too much time to look around Wellington, but it doesn't seem the most exciting place on the planet - maybe it's because it was Sunday morning we were there. The ferry crossing involved great view...

People say that the strange thing about New Zealand is that you can travel to the other side of the world and feel like you haven't left England. That was certainly true of our journey on the boat to Wellington; we were surrounded by beautiful scenery, most of which we couldn't see due to the rain and fog! Wellington is New Zealand's 2nd biggest...

Drove up to Picton to catch the evening ferry across the Cook Straight to Wellington. Takes about three and a half hours but it has to be one of the most scenic ferry journeys in the world as it weaves through the bays of Marlborough Sound. Didn't see any dolphins but we did see the bar. Arrived in Wellington to a cracking sunset and the view of...

Our second full day in Wellington began in a leisurely fashion with lattes at Fidel, a slightly more alternatively-styled café on, of course, Cuba Street, home of all sorts of cheapish boutiques and snack places. The more downtown end, a pedestrian mall, is clearly pitched to the teen market, with lots of cell phone storefronts and beach fashion...

Well after a lovely drive through the national park, we got into Wellington and it was raining, sorry tipping it down! April and I decided that as we were going to stay in Wellington for a while we would move to a smaller hostel and decided on World Wide Backpackers. Dread came over us as the bus headed for a huge hill. Likely it was only up a t...

Had a great weekend, spent Saturday on the beach just off Oriental Parade. It's great being able to sit on a beach just minutes away from the city centre, and it's only about a 15 minute walk from my hostel. Sunday the weather was great again, so I decided to quickly go shopping and bought a jacket for only $50!! Bargain. Once this was purchased...

Well, my day today was pretty much uneventful. We drove up to Picton, got on the ferry, couldn't see much of anything in the rain. We arrived in Wellington to a strong breeze and freezing rain. Luckily I found a great used book store, spent a few hours there stocking up for the rainy day blues. I'm supposed to skydive tomorrow in Taupo, but I do...
