Wellington

Bare with me as I have not yet figured out how to post photos via ipod, you'll hve to look at them on fcebook. Anyways, we've spent the last couple of days in Wellington, still at Peter and Del's. This morning we had kiwi jam on our toast! So nice! We checked out the zoo as well and saw some sun bears, giraffes, kiwi birds, miniature monkeys as well as many other cool animals. We booked our ferry to the south island for Thursday so we'll begin our backpacking adventure relatively soon. (where we'll also have very little internet) we'll let you know how it goes. Nelson and then Abel Tasman national park are our first stops!

Cheers!

We made it to Auckland! Infact, we even made it to Wellington! Yesterday we spent our day adventuring around Auckland, climbing steep hills with our backpacks and getting lost within the city streets. To sum it up, we were very thankful for our beds at the end of the day. Early this morning we got up and caught a bus to Wellington, which was just a short 11 hour duration. We are currently residing with a couple named Peter and Del, who lived in Rosetown for three years sometime before we were born. Their hospitality is very much appreciated as they provided us with a nice meal and beds. Tomorrow we're planning to venture into wellington and open a bank account and get a cell phone. In conclusion, we love it here and are considering canceling our plane tickets. :)
