Wellington's really nice! We basically only got a taste for it as we only stayed there for one day (we're spending longer on the way back) but we managed to do some shopping (window shopping for me...) and did a lot of lost sheep wondering. Bus drivers in wellington are not nice people! They lie. I know that the number 2 was supposed to go where we needed it to, but the driver thought it would be funny to tell us to get one the 11. so we walked to the 11 bus st...

I am currently sitting in a hostel in Rotorua watching Don't Mess With the Zohan. But to backtrack a bit Im going to write up the last couple of days which have been pretty busy! I last wrote about going out in Coromandel... well the place was pretty dead. We went to a random bar but just ended up back at the hostel to chill for a little.
