Yet another early start!! Did a cruise and walk throught the Able Tasman National Park. Must admit i expected it to be totally amazing due to the way they go on about it, so i was a tad disappointed in it splendour!! Anyway we took a cruise to Anchorage Bay from where we walked back to Marahau. The first part of the walk was pretty hard going as it was all up and it was pretty steep! However it did level out after while and was a really nice walk. I even managed...

It was nice just having someone to chat to as i was doing this. Once ...

Made our way down from Taupo to Wellington. Had a pretty boring day as we were just really stuck on teh bus with no interesting stop on the way. We did pass a town called Bulls. The shops all have names with bull in them, its apparently unfortgetaBULL lol!! When we got into Wellington we drove up to the summit of Mount Victoria for a view across the city and Cook Strait. Am actually pretty chuffed with my hostel here. I'm staying at the Base and am on the girls ...
