Well i'm not sure i really liked wellington very much, the second day we were there we spent the morning strolling round the New Zealand Museum, which was actually pretty good as museums go. the giant squid although not as giant as i thought it would be was still pretty giant. You also got a pretty good idea how screwed the Maoris were when we came over. Which was nice. A few hours in a museum can make anyone hungry so we went back to the hostel to cook up some food (probably noodles). After that we used the voucher coupons from the previous nights dominos to go to the cinema and get in pretty cheap. We saw Green Zone, which was alright but Private Miller's no Jason Bourne. Went back to the hostel found my bed had been pilfered by some random girl. Top bunk it is then. Next morning we woke up lay in bed till everyone had left, got up and set off for the Vietnamese embassy. Guess what after 30 minutes walk it was closed. I mean come on who closes on a public holiday really? stupid vietnamese embassy. No visa for us yet. Went back to the hostel and drowned our sorrows in another bowl of noodles. ummmmm noodles. After lovely noodles we were at a loss as to what to do, for a capital city there is very little to do. Have no fear, tourism brochures will point the way. So off to Weta Cave we go. Slightly geeky thong to do really. Weta cave is where a lot of the lord of the rings, avatar, king kong etc. props and designs were done, and theyve set out a little shop museum thing at the front. Got there and there was this guy doing a talk on computer 3d modelling which was interesting for the first five minutes but boring for the rest of the hour so we went for a look round the shop and watched the little movie thing they'd done for people. All in all a pretty good way to waste a few hours. Jumped on bus back to the centre. Went to the skate park and the supermarket Got back. we walked into the room to find the danish girls, one of whom was the one that nicked my bed. grrr. got talking got drinking got drunk. went down to the bar which was pretty fun, went in searc of another bar, couldnt find one so we went back to the kitchen instead. Went to bed around 1. got bus this morning at 8. Now after a pretty long drive we are in Taupo and i'm getting ready to once again test the laws of gravity. Hopefully i will prevail. Then the next day we're gonna climb mount doom. pretty fun eh? Au revoir then byeeeeeeee xx
