The Long Road to Wellington

We're back in Welli!!! After two days of nothing but travel, we have arrived safe and sound back in Wellington where, as you may or may not know, we plan to get jobs and find a dominion of our very own (the quest for all begins tomorrow). The journey went pretty much without a hitch, we had plenty of breaks on the way up from fox to nelson yesterday, and our journey was nicely split up between coach and ferry today. The only major occurrence in the whole thing was me picking up somebody elses bag at the conveyer belt thing when we arrived in Welli, but it all got sorted - the shuttle driver kindly phoned the terminal and took me back to get it. Luckily it had been put behind the desk, and so it was all done with very little trouble to me.
We had a cool coach driver by the name of Neville for yesterdays journey, and drove through some lovely scenery. We began in rain, but the weather got brighter as we went further north. We spent last night in a nice hostel in Nelson (the Paradiso - good recommendation Analisa) with ladder access to the internet room - very kooky!! The only downside was that we were sharing a room with some very smelly boys who came in at alate hour, and i didn't end up getting much sleep (Sally, however, slept like a log, and had a rather fabulous dream about Captain Jack Sparrow - the lucky thing!!). We are now happily installed in YHA Welli.
FYI, daylight saving ended here last night, so we're now only twelve hours in front, soon to be 11 in a week.
Bye for now. Kt and Sally Sparrow.xx
