New Zealand July 27th:
Well, it might not be July 27th by CA standards, but while I'm in NZ things go by the this time. Anyway, we obviously made it here, though not without a long and crazy plane flight and some running around looking for connecting flights. We arrived in Wellington with probably 20+ hours of traveling already and had to take the bus downtown to the train station. It was not until we had boarded the train to Mana (the stop by the house we are staying in) that it occured to me to start taking pictures.  Noel sits on the train, his declared occupation on entering the country poker. Since we didn't have too much of an idea where the house was, when we got to our stop I busted out the PowerBook to look at notes I took before leaving, which now feels like about a week ago instead of about a day.  Mana train station with PowerBook The sad part is that once I had looked at the rough map I had downloaded on my computer, we set off up a very scary hill, with a full months worth of luggage in tow. After having hauled it around the airport trying to get to a flight, I was pretty beat.  Long deadly hill  At the end of the hill we were faced with even more things to climb At the top of the stairs was the the house which has an excellent street address.  42 The view from the house is pretty awesome as well. Ill post a higher resolution photo later.  View from the deck Marita, the woman who is now taking care of the house and her daughter came home and we introduced ourselves. There are bedrooms downstairs which have been unused so things shouldn't be interrupted too much by Noel and Kyle ranting about poker and me babbling about everthing. Marita drove us to the New World food store to get some frozen stuff real quick since she had to go out and we only had some trail mix to eat. Now Kyle is fighting the onions on his frozen pizza because they don't carry anything plain enough for him around here. Maybe tomorrow we will take the train into Wellington. Hopefully I can keep this up with posts every day, though I will probably make Kyle or Noel do it in a while so its not just me talking the whole time. Posted by superseth @ 10:07 PM PST |
