hi all i spent 3 days in wellington and it rain the whole time, the ferry across from picton was nice took 3 hours and again saw dolpins. so in wellington i did a parliament tour as it was free and it was fun interesting and i enjoyd it got to see things they sahow on tv. also i did a movie tour and saw some of the buildings they shoot films in and also went to mt victoria where they film afew scenes from lord of the rings the first film. also i went to the musum as it was free and so read lots of info on volcanos so that was good. wellington was ok not alot to do as its the capital of n.z. after my 3 days i went to napier as it was a magic stop. hostel was nice very cold. again i didnt do anything as it was things there that iv seen before, the following days i went to lake taupo.

lake taupo : lake taupo is in a volcanic crater far far away on the other side of the lake on a clear day you can see the 3 volcanos that are in the natioal park i wanted to do a scenic flight over then but it was too expencive. anyway i went to huka falls on a river criuse that was nice the next day i went to orakei korako cave and thermal park that was really good i enjoyed that. i stayed 2 nights in taupo and it just rained on my second day. next i go to rotoura cant wait.
