Thursday 21st January 2009

Now in New Zealand with our body clocks still striving to catch up as we have gained another 5 hours since leaving Singapore. Arrived in windy Wellington the capital yesterday afternoon and collected our hire car which we will have until we leave NZ in March. Booked into to the city YH which is really 5 star in every way. Then we enjoyed a 'western' food meal in a local restaurant last night and that oh so wonderful first bottle of NZ Sauvignon Blanc - we have been so looking forward to! Today the morning was spent buying a few requisites for our stay here before taking the inter-island ferry in the afternoon to Picton in the South Island. The weather here is hot and sunny and the coastline looked spectacular as we came through the .Marlborough Sounds. Tonight in a great back packer hostel getting back to our spanish style one-pot meals, no chorizo though !!
