Day 6 - Wellington, New Zealand

I have 7 minutes til my internet card expires so thought I'd write a quick post.

Yesterday was spent driving almost all day to Wellington.  Caitlyn is a road warrior and drove the whole 7 hours! I was a bit drugged on benadryl recovering from my wasp sting. Thankfully, my foot feels great and just fine and I can walk and do normal activities.

We booked 2 nights at the YHA Hostel in Wellington and are so glad we did! It's been wonderful to have some down time and just relax from our crazy American pace of a vacation! We are trying to see as much as we can in our 12 days of this glorious country and so far, so good!

We board the ferry tomorrow morning for the south island and will drive down the east coast to the city of Dunedin. I have a friend there who I met when I lived in England 10 years ago. We plan to take 3 days to get there and then will have 2 days with my friend Elizabeth and her family.

We got some yummy vegetables at a market yesterday and have been enjoying tasty homemade meals in the evenings. We plan to keep cooking on our own as it's a bit more economical and probably better for us too!

There may be some whales and/or dolphins to see on the ferry ride tomorrow. We'll post pics again when we can.

Good night for now!
