Flying Kiwi day twenty six - Wellington

We only had until 1pm in Wellington on Saturday, but because Rebekka and I had already been to the city the last time the tour came through the North Island, we had a more relaxed morning while the others went to Te Papa, the national museum. After breakfast, we went for a look around the shops, the parliament buildings and Old St Paul's Catherdral, before getting on the bus at the train station.

Flying Kiwi keep their buses on the repective islands, so Rebekka, Pascal and I who had joined at Auckland got on our old bus, except now with a new driver. Grant and his assistant Libby would be heading around both islands, but they'd only take a few of us for the two days back to Auckland.

The last two days probably contain the longest drives of the whole tour, and as a result we only got off to get a takeaway dinner near Mt. Taranaki before arriving at Onaero for the night.
