Ohtel Wellington

Instead of leaving Wellington today we decided to stay for another night. We spent most of the day at the Te Papa museum; where we saw the only Colossal Squid on display in the world, the museum is completely free and has enough exhibitions to keep you busy for two whole days, some areas put the London museums to shame.

We left late afternoon to find a campground on route for the next day.

... force conditions from the runway at Wellington Airport.

Having dropped off the trusty Corolla at the downtown Hertz office (I am car-less for a couple of days whilst in Wellington), I took some time to wander around the city via my hotel for the next few days. I already like the fact that you can pretty much see everything in the city by walking.

During my wanders, I heard that the city’s football team ...

... podoba, a co wazniejsze - pozwala na odłozenie troche kasy na dodatkowe podróze.

Otóz - zadecydowaliśmy, ze kolejne wycieczki zaczniemy na Boze Narodzenie (środek lata) i w 3-4 tygodnie zwiedzimy całą wyspę południową. W ten sposób będziemy mogli skorzystać z pięknej pogody na plazach NZ, a tym samym wykorzystać urlop jaki Kirsty dostanie w pracy. Dogadalismy sie tez z ...

... when I say the weather is rubbish, I mean that from the bottom of my heart with such affection, you can't even imagine. The whole weather situation is iffy right now for two reasons. First, I'm here at a time when the land is shifting from winter to spring. Second, I'm living primarily in Wellington, which is not named "the Windy City" for nothing. Hailing currently from the Chicago area, which shares that nickname with Wellington, I'm ...

... viel neues, der Immobilienmarkt ist ziemlich lau (habe allerdings fuer eine Wohnung sogar ein Angebot abgegeben, aber ein anderer Kaeufer hat die Wohnung gekauft), das Wetter ist endlich etwas besser, Juni und Juli waren ziemlich verregnet.

Gruss
Ralf

... reasonably calm. There was no swell. This was weird. Howling gales and no sea swell! I found out later that this is normal of a northerly when it blows into town. The sea remains calm, whilst the houses have their roofs lifted. However, by mid day it had died down and I headed into town to explore and see how much the city had changed in the intervening years. Minding my own business, intend on going to a shop, Anna had taken me to on a previous ...

... n niin ne ois samaa mieltä. Mäccäri lounaan jälkeen käveltiin tatska museoon, mikä oli oikeestaan aika magee. Snadi mesta hämärällä kujalla, minkä yhteydessä myös paja jos into tatuointeihin herää museossa käynnin jälkeen. Sit käytiin viel ostaa flygariliput yhelle Fijin sisäiselle lennolle ja tehtiin tos illalla viel safkaa. Huomenna taas dösään ja Aucklandia kohti parin pysähdyksen kautta.

... that wear scary black cloaks, ride on horses, and chase hobbits around for a living. But in this case, the Nazgul stands for my lack of a brain. Maybe that's being too ******* myself... I should say that it stands for my occassional lack of awareness. Those who know me farely well also know that I've got a rare talent for losing/misplacing things... wallets are my specialty. Noone can lose a wallet like me... for those who think ...

... on board though the dirty bugger lol. Geoff told the guy we'd drop anchor and then give him a hand so the guy road over to us in his dingy and Phil and Geoff went back with him to his boat to help. Me and Kelly stayed on board and had a beer (well we couldn't all fit in the dingy lol). Once they had sorted out his anchor they came back in the dingy and we went over to a small jetty and tied up for a bit while me and Phil ...

... m'estranya que als vespres estiguem supercansades!!! necessitarem vacances per recuperar-nos d'aquestes vacances :) jejeje... Agafarem el bus per anar a l'estacio de tren des d'on ens recolliran per fer l'excursio. A les 8.30am puntuals ens venen a buscar amb un mini-bus/furgoneta. Serem unes 10 persones. Ens dirigirm primerament a Mount Victoria, una muntanyeta al mig de la ciutat on hi ha una bella vista. Primer ens aturem al mirador i despres, ens endincarem al mateix ...
