On the 14th we drove to Wellington. Wellington was the first place we felt at a disadvantage having a car as not many hostels offer parking. Really disappointed with the accomodation 'Lodge in the City', one of the most expensive places we have stayed yet it was a dump with unfriendly staff & bad atmosphere, only good thing I could say is it had a ideal location, right in the city centre. The weather was rainy when we got there so we went to the Te Papa museum, I'm not normally a fan of m...

Day Thirteen - Wellington
I got up early to get out of the freezing hostel, and returned to the Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre, where I spent an hour or so walking around the one kilometre path with various cages for different birds. The centre is a sanctuary for endangered species that have either been born at the centre or have been rescued in the wild and are in need of care. The centre raises the birds for a year, or until they are ready to be released into the wild. The ...
09-Feb - 03-May: I planned to work temporarily here in Wellington. It's my first and only application for a job when I arrived here in NZ. And I was so glad that I got the job offer, attended the interview & started work on 22-Feb. I worked as a room attendant in a 3+ star hotel in Wellington doing housekeeping. It was really not as easy as I thought. Lots of physical work and need to complete certain amount of rooms before 2pm. Everyday, I return to my hostel with a sore fingers & so...

I really like Wellington, it's a bit like Bristol in places and could easily spend quite a bit of time here (and money!). We stayed in a nice place called Lodge in the City, which was near all the cool shops and places to go out on Cuba street. We met up with Mat again, who was here for a couple of days before heading back to the South Island. As the Art Festival was on we went to the city gallery and a couple of smaller galleries (including Roar, the outsider art gallery, which i particularl...

Hello!
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the New Zealand leg of this trip has been the car journeys. We spend pretty much every other day on the road and Martin has quickly come to enjoy the same music as me. Which is a good job. This has led to us driving along and merrily singing Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash and Dry The Rain by the Beta Band amongst others at the top of our lungs. Martin's interpretation of some of the lyrics may leave something to desire ...
... Habe mir am Wochenende noch ein paar weitere Apartments angeschaut. Fuer 600k kann man wohl eine recht nette Wohnung bekommen, darunter faellt die Qualitaet doch schnell ab. Inwieweit die 600k verhandelbar sind, weiss ich nicht, habe das Gefuehl, das zwar recht viele Leute schauen, aber wenige davon kaufen... Die Verkaufsagenten sind da schlechte Informanten, wenn man die fragt, laeuft das Geschaeft blendend:-) Einen schoenen Blick ...

... TV next day playing!). There was a great carnival atmosphere and a great time was had by all. We watched some of the Pool Games on the Friday in the pub as tickets for the matches were sold out as soon as they went on sale months ago!!! The first game we watched was Wales v New Zealand and, against all the odds, Wales well and truely beat them!!! We had to be a bit subdued in our excitement at the win in case ...

... as long as the boxes kept rolling in... Next day awoke feeling a little delicate, and discovered they had already gone fishing with an anuty who they had said they would take fishing for the day. So I sat and chatted to Karen for most of the day while we watched them out on the little rowing boat catching some fish. In preparation for my fishing trip I went and brought the box and some ciggs for Karen and got enough fuel to get me to ...

... yesterday and arrived in Wellington yesterday afternoon. Saw some dolphins and an albatross on the ferry! Now it's time to explore the city and then head up and see as much of the North Island as possible until we run out of money! I'll write a longer blog sometime soon.

... been better but it was ok: it was cold and windy, but at least it didn't rain. And it was good enough to have a good view. After that I went back to the city and did first a walk through the shopping malls (where I also had some lunch at a restaurant court) and then walked along the Tramway tracks. This also led me to the Avon river where I watched other people 'Punting on the Avon'. I followed ...
