Waitomo to Wellington....
We drove as far as we could towards Wellington then got tired so we stopped in Levin for a nice rest (2.5 days drive from Waitomo). Actually a really nice campground, just kinda rolled into it. We woke up to rain, and it rained, and rained....oh wait did I tell you it rained. It did not stop raining for like 2 days straight. We sat in the van in Wellington the first day, the next day we went to the Te Papa museum because it was raining and guess what so did the rest of Wellington and tourists and did we mentioned it was school break.
Today we woke up, Friday, to sun finally, and took the cable car to the botanical gardens, which was nice but the cable car is a rip off since you could walk it up and down no problem, or just take it up and walk down. We bought a pass for return so we walked dowen teh trails, then walked up so we could use our return pass down. We have been walking around the wharf, lots of reaturants, libraries, and shops teh town of Wellington is quite nice a good mix of modern and old. We are not sure if we want to cross the ferry to the south island on Saturday or Sunday. Not a lot to do in Wellington and its very expensive, $20 just for the bus into town from the campground and back. We drove down the first day in the rain and paid $20 for parking for a 1/2 day.
Sofar we have seen the museum (rain day), rode the cable car, walked the park, and walked around looking at stores. We have decided to leave tomorrow (Saturday) to start the south island.
