Coming down the coast road into Wellington was a joy. The wind was really up and the waves were crashing along the shore as we drove along the coast. Another clear day too! Not that it was to last. We were lucky to get ourselves a central motel (not cheap though, accomodation doesn't seem to be around here) and we took off around the streets of central Wellington. Pretty soon I started to get suspicious about the number of Irish rugby jerseys passing us on the street and then I remembered it ...

We have a 300km drive south to Wellington, stopping for lunch in a Turkish restaurant in Carterton. The last 50 km involved driving ove r a very steep and twisty mountain road. We approach Wellington on a coast raod round the bay with great views of the city but no opportunities for photo stops. The sea is choppy as it is very windy. We check into the Victoria Court Motor Lodge which is fairly central. We had only booked it online this morning but it is now full. We walk down Cuba Street, whi...

The weather is still quite cool, so we kick off with a walk along the picturesque waterfront. There is a floating crane built on the Clyde in 1926. We spend a lot of the day in Te Papa, a museum of New Zealand. Good art displays and interesting accounts of early settlers. It is a modern building on the seafront and we see, among other things, a cannon from HMS Endeavour, Captain Cook's boat, a Maori whare and a stuffed moa bird (J not impressed). The earthquake and volcanic displays are very ...

... really happy that we are so close to that. One of these days we are going to rent rollerblades and show off our skating skills because apparently rollerblading along the boardwalk is the thing to do around here. <br><br>Today, for the rest of the day we are going to look at apartments that we've requested to see and continue looking for jobs. Tomorrow is Sunday, our day of rest, so hopefully we can make things happen today so we can have a nice relaxing day tomorrow.

... and difficult to sleep despite extra blankets and clothing.<br><br>Next morning and the last leg of our journey to Wellington. Gail drove most of the way so I could have a break due to my sleepless night after the drive before leaving me tired from the start.<br>The journey was long and we arrived into Wellington just in time to find the site we had chosen and book in for 2 nights. A good nights sleep was welcome and a ...

Well, a belated Happy Easter to everyone reading. And where have we been the past week, you may ask?! We left Napier last Friday, Good Friday that was, and drove the 4 hours or so to Wellington, arriving early afternoon at the YHA hostel. Checked in, got our room and then left to start checking out the town. It being a bank holiday weekend everything was closed but we did stroll the promenade and ended up in the shopping / bar area (not far from the hostel), where we ...

... mon premier bus mais que je n'ai pas vu depuis Raglan, c'est d'ailleurs sympa de se rerouver !!) et je me reposerai quand j'arriverai a Abel Tasman.... :o)... . Cette petite ballade sur Mt Victoria est vraiment a faire: ca prend 30 minutes environ et du haut on a une vue impressionante de Wellington!... Nous allons aussi au Musee de Te Papa - encore un Musee qui vaut vraiment le coup d'aller voir: de la culture, histoire, a la geographie, geologie ...

... mainly American acts with the exception of the last comedienne who was a Kiwi woman who kept glancing down at the notes she'd written on the back of her hand as prompts. A lot of the Kiwi gags where hard to follow as they were local humour, but we still managed to get some of it. After the comedy night we went to a lcal bar and played pool for a bit. We didn't have have a really late night as we had a lot to get sorted for the trip tomorrow.

... d'informacio... al vespre, de compres i cap al camping! 18.02.2009 Wir fahren zum Te Papa Museum in Wellington. Hier gibt es jede Menge Ausstellungen von Maori Kultur, Flora und Fauna Neuseelands, Riesentintenfisch, Vulkane Neuseelands, Immigration und vieles mehr. Das Museum ist toll, man kann vieles selbst ausprobieren, Knoepfe und Schalter bewegen usw. Den Nachmittag laufen wir ein wenig durch die schoene Stadt Wellington und fahren dann wieder zurueck ins Top Ten.

So day 1, we were up and ready by 6am that morning and headed off into the bar to sign our names in for the contiki tour. Once that was done we were on the bus and were introduced to our tour manager Brendan and coach driver Danny. After the introduction they took us for a brief tour around christchurch naming various historical fact and pointing out some major icons, one thing i found pretty impressive was that they had ...
