So.. its our last day in Wellington today, i have a wee bit of time to type something... we visited the museum Te Papa yesterday, it was fantastic! Also saw some of phils friends last night and they made us a nice dinner, we even got to play guitar hero 2 .. so there was a bit of rocking going on last night even though the people that had us over had a 5 month old baby sleeping!

Have taken lots of pictures and its going to take a while to sort through them when I get back home. Only today did i think about my ex co workers back at work, on deadline and thought "ahhh" how relieving it is not to be in their position right now!!

Got some really nice NZ jade as well and some bone pendents at a special shop that phils mum took us to. They had so many beautiful carved pieces there and it was nice to know that the prices weren't jacked up and the a lot of the money actually went back to the carvers unlike other places like museum shops where the original creators of the pendents got hardly anything back for their work.

Wellington actually reminds me a bit of adelaide in the smallness of the city but of course the weather is completely different. We've had really good weather though since we've been here apart from the first day. Quite sunny!
So it will be perfect weather to go on the cable cars today!

Anyway were flying up to auckland this arvo and the place were staying at won't have internet so i will be post-less for a while :) But ill sure be taking a zillion pictures!

ciao for now!
