Napier to Wellington

This getting up early lark is not easy, we hit the road around 9:30am this morning to head down to Palmerston North.

First stop on the way was the National Aquarium, this was very cool. They had some fantastic displays with some very big fish.

We saw a massive crocodile (by our standards), I think the most impressive thing about him was his tail which looked very muscular.




There was an underwater walkway (one more thing to tick off my wish list), we walked through it twice it was so cool. There were shoals of fishes, manta rays, atleast 5 different types of shark.







We then drove like mad things down to Wellington (where we are now) and will get the ferry to Picton tomorrow. Wellington looks very nice and we could probably spent another half a day here but we wants to motor down to Kaikora to see whales and swim with Dolphins (hopefully!!)

Everything here in Wellington has an Art Deco feel to it, like Napier but it seems to have a lot more life (Well it is the capital city!)

We did forget to say that we saw Hukka Falls which although is not a big waterfall it does seem to shift a lot of water. Very Pretty.


Anyway going to now, need more alcohol!!
