The ferry ride to Wellington was very slow - 3 hours and 10 mins! When we arrived in Wellington Kevin and Megan were waiting, and waiving us by the dock. After a quick hello and hugs, we headed off to Hutt City (to Megan's Mums house). We had drinks and dinner then headed out to the night of the year - Quiz Night.
We bought raffle tickets, got 3 for $5 (a pink, blue and yellow one). James told Megan he had the winning yellow ticket and would she swap her losing yellow ticket for his winning one, she decided to take the risk and swap it.
Our team name, chosen by Megan, was Kiwi Fruits and English Cox. Vicky (Megans sister in law) won a prize for having a sticker on her chair. Megan won a prize for knowing the next NZ census was in 2011. I won a prize for knowing Golden harp logo was for Guinness. The lady said "I'm not surprised you knew that with your accent" Didn't really want to say I was English!!
During the mid way stop and buffet the raffle was drawn. The first winning ticket was Yellow number 10 - Megans!! Yup, thats right James gave away the winning ticket - Fool! She won a massive Hamper of food and stuff.

Lucky Beggars!

At the end of the Quiz we were drawing, bottom. We had a decider question and the other team were so stupid that they answered the question correctly! Therefore we won the booby prize of beer and chocolate and went home with the most prizes - Suckers!
We enjoyed a Spa when we got back to Megans mums. Relaxing under the stars - bliss.

Cheers and smile!

We had the best nights sleep as the bed was the most comfortable ever - well in comparison with the campervan. Megan came in and gave us Juice in bed - Service is supreme!
We went to Kevin and Megans house set on the side of a hill and amazing views.
We then headed for the seaside for some Brunch. The first choice was full so we headed round the corner, where it was a much better view.
After stuffing ourselves, we were taken to Mount Victoria lookout. The lookout bit was closed but Megan and Kevin found us an alternative. We then walked along the waterfront and around the town in the sunshine.
We said our good byes for now and continued on our way in our trusty campervan.
