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), Edd decided to get a dorm bed for the night so I slept in the freezing cold tent by myself but with a douvet, 2 pillows, a blanket and a sleeping bag I was ok! We had the final games of pool in our series of the North Island Which Dean and I won 3-1... A great Result!
Wellington is very cool, a great nightlife, an artistic city and it is very picturesque when we look out the Hostel window over the city
Deans trim!
. I went to a really cool museum about the history of the Islands and volcanos, earthquakes etc and spent the rest of the day looking around shops and investigating the City. We are racing down to the south Island tomorrow as the other 3 guys only have a month here and I have 2. I fly out of Auckland so I have a further month to spend more time wherever I like on my way back up.Tonight im going to stay in and save money although I would imagine everyone else will go out. So tomorrow I drive us onto the expensive ferry in EXPENSIVE New Zealand to the south Island - should be a ncie journey.

I went out last night. I didnt want to but I was forced into it. Many, many drinks on many, many nights, mucho, mucho dinero and I cant afford to be drinking as much as I am right now - too much on the wallet... too much on the health!
EVERYONE here says 'Sweet As Mate' all the time!
Some people use it instead of ok so they can slip it in literally 10's of times in one sentance! Its infuriating! Other than this they are just like the English and the architecture of the towns is exactly the same - it is very simmilar to the lake district in Scenary so far and basically, it costs more money so Out of a choice of the North Island of New Zealand or the Lake district I would go for the lakes! - Unexpected eh.
