A normal wake-up, quick call home and we were on the road. Lots of iPod music to avoid Toms taste in music and after six hours crossing the "Desert Road" among other towns, villages and the Gum Boot capital of the world we were in Wellington.
A quick breather and at 3pm we were booked into the New Zealand Parliament for a quick lesson on Kiwi politics, and to view the parliament in session. We saw the general debate. It was quite interesting, and followed the same general form and pattern as UK parliament (inherited through the commonwealth.)
Back to the hostel to unpack and it was time for dinner. Missing out on lunch today we were starving and headed to an Indian restaturant. It was lovely and a nice change to home-cooked food!!
A quick visit to the "Kiwi Pub" a couple of glasses of wine, and the last place in a quiz and we headed back to the hostel. A rest and now time to sort out bags, money, photos, blogs etc.
Very much a travelling day today, but I hope to have a more interesting day tomorrow!!
:)
