We spent the night in Wellington at Kate and Jamie, Anna’s sister, as we were unable to find a room in Wellington. This was far better and they gave us a great tour of the city this morning. We have not had access to a computer so hence the absence of blogging. We are heading over Cook Strait this afternoon and will spend the next few days in Nelson on the South Island. We will be staying with Anna and Pat…we are looking forward to that. I will bring my blog up to speed when I am there as we hope to relax on the beach for a few days. The travelling through New Zealand has been absolutely amazing, it is hard to believe that one small island could be so beautiful. The South Island is to be very different…slower and more rural…so far it has been a great journey with few mishaps…like driving on the wrong side of the road…and only a few tiffs over where and what to eat. We are off to the ferry…we set us back $500.00 for a return trip…nothing is cheap here…but we are doing fine.
