Rain, rain, rain.....

Today we travelled down from Taupo to Wellington by car, a distance of 355kms. The weather was appalling with persistent heavy rain all the way down. We have a great hotel room overlooking the harbour and as we look out now, the lights of Wellington are shining across the bay.

After we arrived we went to the Museum of New Zealand (Te Papa Tongarewa) which is simply awesome, as New Zealanders seem to say all the time. It is without doubt, the very best museum we have ever visited. We have to go back again tomorrow as there is so much to see and do there. Many of the exhibits are interactive and it would be a marvellous place to take a school trip!

    When you get to the South Island, if you want to avoid wet weather, bypass the West Coast! The weather system can be similar to the UK and I guess the West Coast can be a little similar to Wales in that respect.

    Just arrived back in the UK, so now entering sleepless zombie mode :-)

    We had a VERY wet day today (355kms driving in pouring rain) but things look a bit better for the next few days when we get across to Nelson. I hope you all had a great time despite the weather. Send my best wishes to all at Sepura when you get back in and I hope your sleep gets back into sync soon.
