I'm in Wellington after an 11 hour bus ride. The one thing that was weird was the buses had seatbelts, but only kids under 14 had to wear them. The countryside here is really beautiful and though parts of it reminded me of Canada it's much more hilly and there's so much more vegetation everywhere. We also passed by an area with 3 volcanoes, and apparently one of them went off only a few years ago in 1996.The bus driver gave some commentary on most of the places we passed through which was nice and then dropped the backpackers off at the different hostels.
I'm going to see Te Papa which is the big new modern museum here. It's supposed to be really great and it's free. The weather isn't great here right now i think it may be raining outside, and its definately windy. The city is in a valley right by the ocean so it is known in New Zealand as the windy city.
I'll try and post more pics at a later.
Thats all for now
