Windy Wellington

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

Wedding!!!

So i went to the wedding of my cousin Diego to his wife Katie. What a good experience, I met some family, and got to participate in such a wonderful event.

It was really a good ceremony, not too long, it was outside and the weather was just perfect. I have attached here a photo of the couple. I didn't get a lot of pictures of the reception, but this is a very nice shortly after they exchanged their vows.



Well i'm not up to a whole lot today other than planning the next part of my adventure. I leave tomorrow for Wellington, then quickly down to the south island.

I'll probably have less access to a computer than here and it'll be more expensive (ie it won't be free) but i'll be updating as often as I can.

Wish me luck!

Meeting Cousins and such

Another Pic, this is from Mount Victoria, on the north shore..



Well i met the cousins yesterday and that was fine and dandy. Getting this planned for the rest of my trip.

Not much else going on here really.

I'll try and post more a bit later
