We also did a trip down to wellington not too long ago (about 4 hrs south). It was wet n windy but there were lots of quirky cafes n boutiques and the TePapa museum was pretty awesome. The big event of that weekend though was Adams first speeding ticket. A run in with the Kiwi law was (it turned out) not too horrific but we are yet to understand the general speeding restrictions as we cruised at 40mph down a huge deserted highway. Who knows!! Perhaps we may have run down two many sheep in that area or something. pah.
Tobin visited us a few weeks back too, and we muchos fun playing on the Kayak in Kinloch, jumping in to the lake from the cliff rocks and all around playing in the beautiful blue water. Generally much better than Beeston we decided. Will pester him to put up some pics so you can decide!
Anyhoo, later alligators.
