Wellingon, NZ capital

We arrived in Wellington today in bright sunshine. When we go up it was + 13 degrees but warmed to abut 18C. A nice drive down to this port town. We almost felt like it was driving into Oslo in Norway, which we have done several times.



Parking is a bit of a pain and expensive so we are staying only one night in town, then moving out to Poiruru for 2 nights before catching the mid day Inter Islander ferry to Picton. Internet is still slow here, and very expensive ($5 per hour). I don't expect to update again until we are well into the South island.

Tomorrow we plan to visit the Te Papa museum, supposed to be the best on NZ and Maori culture. Weather is supposed to hold, although it has been cool south. It is fall here afterall, and there are a few trees just starting to show their fall colors.
