Wellington

We spent one day driving to Wellington and another day seeing downtown Wellington, probably stayed in the worst motel of our trip (my opinion, Don would probably disagree) although we would have liked to have visited Te Papa, the National Museum of New Zealand because it talks all about the history of the country. We’ll have to do that one later. But we trekked around the city, found a great sale on some of the kitchen appliances we need so we shopped quite a bit, and we veged out in front of TV for awhile. A day can pass awfully slowly if all you’ve got to watch is some bad Sunday television and the E! channel. I am about chock full of seeing Paris Hilton videos and the premiere interviews with celebrities at the new releases. That station is pretty useless I gotta say, but it filled our Sunday evening.

Have to say Wellington is pretty but we didn’t spend much time there doing too much as our time was spent on more utilitarian things. As the country’s capital and the landing point for the ferry should we need to cross over to the North Island, we figured we’d have ample opportunity to visit and see things later. But it is quite a pretty city as you drive around.

Just a note for yous guys who’ve been hoping for personal emails and the like, we have to pay for internet use per minute here in cafes and shops and it’s awfully expensive, so blogging is about it for awhile until we’re set up on a monthly plan. We’ll be emailing and/or talking to all of you soon, we promise!
