We had a fantastic couple of days in Wellington, swaddled in suburban bliss courtesy of Suze - a friend of Karen Dos's whom we previously hadn't known. In typical Kiwi fashion we were treated to heaps of hospitality, wild parties, a few walks, downtown cafe's, and fish n' chips on the beach with a simultaneous sunset and moon rise.

Today we're headed across the Inter Island ferry to the South Island of NZ - where kayaking the Abel Tasman national park is the first planned activity.
