Wellington, New Zealand

The Windy City

It's chucking it down when I leave Picton on the Interislander ferry (a very nice German lady from the hostel, who I've never spoken to but who notices me staring forlornly out at the downpour from the JR porch, laden with bags, gives me a lift to the ferry terminal). The crossing is nothing...

Exploring the North Island

We’ve spent the last week exploring the northern island of New Zealand and arrived in Wellington late in the evening after a very rough ferry ride between Picton on the south island and Wellington on the north island. Luckily, we had pre-booked a hotel (not that common for us) and went...

Wellington Day 2

WELLINGTON Day 2 (2km, 438km total) - Most of today we spent running errands around Wellington. Shad got his bike tire trued and his wireless internet fixed. I bought some replacements for the lost or missing S hooks on my panniers. We tried to get Shad's ipod fixed too, but that didn't quite...

Wellington

WELLINGTON (6km, 436km total) - We woke up early to make our 8am bus to Wellington. i still felt pretty gross from last night's meal, so I bypassed breakfast completely. The bus ride down was uneventful, with only a lunchtime stop in a small town called Bulls. I again didn't eat anything, just...

Wellied

Before catching the bus to Wellington, we sent off a volley of Couchsurfing requests for Santiago, encouraged by the fact we were about to head off to our second ever Couchsurfing host. Finally our hours and hours of work had paid off! When we went to get the bus I obediently left my bag...

T Minus 3 (ish) days

Well, here I am on Saturday night, 3 days before I leave the country on a one-way ticket to... somewhere. The rest of my life, I guess. Early on Tuesday morning, May 12th 2009, I will wing my way over the ditch to Australia and whatever adventures await me there and beyond. It doesn't feel...

New Zealand part II

From Taupo we headed West along the "World's Forgotten Highway" - which is aptly named...there really is nothing but rolling hills for miles and miles; it was quite incredible. It made for some very windy driving along roads that were falling apart over cliffs, or had corroded down to one lane...

Heading Back North

After spending an hour sat in my car in Picton wishing they had better radio stations and cursing my obsession with being early for everything I was back on the ferry to Wellington and back to the freak show that is Rowena's Lodge for the night. Not the most exciting post ever but I just...

Trying out Blogabond

Little to say, just sitting in my hotel room -- should be working -- with Thomas and Dieter, and trying out Blogabond.

Harden Up, Princess

On account of the fact I'm a cheapskate my ferry to Picton on the south island was the Stupid O Clock ferry due to depart at 1.55am on the Saturday morning which meant I got to spend all of today chatting online, shopping for clothes that don't smell like eggs (I'm actually having to replace...
