It's a bit curious actually, I never planned to stay in Wellington at all really, but I heard from a few people that it was really a worthwhile town, and that I should stay there for a while. I dunno what it is, but yeah, I kinda like the town already and I've only been here for like 2 hours. It helps that I don't have to pay for stay and that Base is located one block away from a supermarket and neighbor with like a ton of cheap restaurants. I was a bit surpri...

So how about it, I have now stood on the top of edoras, looking out at the great mountain ranges surrounding it. Nevermind what everyone keeps saying about new zealand being the real middle earth: Mount Sunday is the real Rohan. It is f***ing hard trying to imagine a location more fitting than this for a the capital of Rohan. Even without considering the fact that you're on a site where they filmed some of the greatest movies of all time, it is spectacular views ...

Back in christchurch, although the town's not that bad at all this time. Staying in a place called old country house now. A bit more expensive, but it's all paid by Adventure since technically the tour ain't over til tomorrow. Had a great night out, and I'm so going to miss the more liberal dispensing of alcohol when I get back to Sweden. Not that I'm drinking that much, but just being able to buy a round of beer for everyone and not kill your bank account is aw...

Feels quite a bit like home by now: spent a day on one of the worlds fastest moving, and regarded as New Zealands most spectacular, glacier. Its name: Franz Josef... Out of the resemblance it bore with the beard of the (now) late austrian emperor, apparently. Personally, I've neither had the oppourtunity nor the inclination to study the facial hair of 19th century monarchs so my knowledge in the matter is limited. It was quite alright way to spend the day, going...

Leaving queenstown to start the journey northwards, towards Franz Josef glacier and christchurch. Not doing a long post today, but did visit a really cool house of puzzles. They had all sorts of optical illusions and mazes and s***. Unfortunately, we only spent an hour there. Could have done with two, maybe even more. But I really am going to miss FergBurger in queenstown, that was definately the best burgers I've ever had the pleasure of tasting, and biggest as...
