Finally made it to Nigel and Kellys... The ferry sailed on time and after a rough crossing docked at Picton. On the way down to Kiakoura we stopped at a nice winery to do some 'tasting', apparently they do lots of that here! The scenery on the way down was stunning, very green and hilly, I could just imagine hobbits and the like running about in front of us. Kiakoura is a small township but spread out quite a bit along the coast and ending at a peninsula where ...

After an 11 hour bus journey I arrived in Wellington. Booked into my hostel on Wakefiled street, just around the corner from all the shops and the museums. Spent last night in the bar...made some friends with a few people on the bus down, and spent all of today waking up.

Will be meeting up with our last tour guide, as he is Santiago for a few days...unfortunately cannot go to the all you cand drink martini night ...

Quito...the last stop on our trip. The capital city of Ecuador and the place where you can visit the Ecuator line, which we did yesterday. Nothing particularly special to report, just nice to say I´ve been there and done it. Went out for our last meal last night. Unfortunately after our four bottles of wine it got to be midnight, which was when it was 3 martinis for $10-so of course we had to go through the whole martini list...it got very messy, and involved a...
