The Lodge at the Inlet Wellington

... down when I need it again! The room is not small, but seems small after last night's vast suite in Napier. The view from the balcony over Wellington harbour is stunning though. We've taken a walk along the harbour and though the town for tea. I am quite excited to find that the Te Papa (Our Land) museum is open until the dizzyingly late hour of 9pm tomorrow night. And it's free, so we just have got to visit. Tomorrow we explore Wellington further. Tonight we're doing some laundry. <br>

... We had a look around the sights and got the gondola back down to the city centre where we browsed a few shops before heading to a pub for a pre football drink. <br><br>We arrived at the football (Wellington Phoenix vs. Central Coast Mariners) an hour before kick off and bought our tickets for the Yellow fever section of the ground. We entered the stadium and went for a look to see how much a shirt was as Wellington Phoenix ...

... 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.

... I was by myself.) So afterwards I went back to the camera to check out the picture and completely forgot the fact that Zeb was still in his position imitating the Nazgul (ringwraths is another term for them). So I trotted off, all proud of the fact that I got the picture, up to the Mt. Victoria lookout. It didn't occur to me that I'd left him there until I found a tire swing on a hill. Sounds strange I know but don't worry I'll ...

... a look around the front of the island. There was a small bird there that seemed really tame and came up to you as you were walking around. Kelly told me the name of it (but I forget) and it's apparently known for being inquisitive and friendly. After having a look around we moved around to the mooring area to where we were going to stop for the night. There was a buoy floating in the water spare for us to attach to. Once we ...

... on es varen filmar varies escenes. Va ser el primer dia de rodatge de tots els 15 mesos en total. Es un dia molt divertit! podem reconeixer algunes localitzacions molt facilment i altres, necessitem molta imaginacio. El guia, en Nathan, es un crac de LOTR, va interpretar el paper d'elf -com a extra-, passara el dia volant. Ens explica com no, varis anectodes, com ara que en Sam va rebre una dieta de donuts per tal de poder engreixar-se uns quilets per fer el seu rol. Que ...

... describe NZ is that it has the mountains and rivers of Alaska, the plains like Wyoming (they do get a bit more moisture, but not much) and farm fields like Ireland. Tomorrow we head down by Mt. Cook spending a day in the Southern Alps and then heading over to Becks to meet up with James and Linda in Central Otago. We'll spend 2 to 3 days there and then head to Stewart's Island. But that's it for now and it's almost time for the evening tea. Cheers!
