New Zealand - Whakapapa to Wellington

Right then - so Whakapapa to Wellington......

Well not so interesting unfortunately as mostly it was a day spent on the bus as most people want to get to Wellington and get on with sightseeing and all that jazz.

To break the journey slightly we did stop off in a couple of small towns, mainly Taihape and Bulls. Bulls is really quite hilarious - all the businesses have names which plays on the Bulls theme - so you'll get estate agents with - No Bull here, etc, etc. A good bit of light relief after being stuck on the bus for hours.

But then on to Wellington - Wellington is the capital of NZ just in case you though it might have been Auckland and so houses parliment, the national museum Te Papa and all that important stuff. Its also incredibly windy - Windy Wellington as its known as over here and has pretty steep streets that all lead down into the harbour. It also comes across as arty and is a bit more edgy than Auckland with a more vibrant music and pub/cafe culture. Might actually move there sometime soon!

Not much else to report other than its where we got the ferry the next day to move over to the South Island.

More soon
