Wellington and South

Quick entry as we're hungry. Stayed the last two days in Wellington - capital of NZ, on the very southern tip of the North Island. Went to some lovely free museums, then saw a movie at the Embassy theatre - one of the biggest screens in the southern hemisphere and the place of the LOTR premieres. Quite a theatre. The movie was about the New Zealander who set the land speed record for motorcycles less than 1000cc on the Bonneville salt flats of Utah (The World's Fastest Indian).
Today we took the three hour ferry ride to the south island. Beautiful ride. Will post pics of it later. Actually looks a lot like the Puget Sound.
We're headed out for a three day tramp tomorrow, so there won't be any postings for a while.
Sorry this was so brief. Today was mostly a travel day.

Cheers!

Great. Now I'm reading blogs about movies shown the other side of the world about my home state.

Maybe I'll write a book about it.
