Taupo to Wellington then Nelson!

---

So from Taupo we then headed to the capital of New Zealand Wellington, the premiere of lord of the Rings was done here and also a lot of shooting, the driver pointed out a few things to us. Wellington is also where Peter Jacksons Studios are, tried to get an audition but you know! talent!!!

Anyway we spent some time just roaming the city checking out the museum. The next day we headed to the South Island, lots of New Zealanders had told me we were in for a real trip so it should be good. One 3 hour ferry and 2 hour coach ride later were in Nelson, a uaint little village town, suppossibly the Sunshine City, yet its raining! Keep posted guys the mountains are coming!

Some glacier hiking etc, Claire's about to get sporty!!Ha Ha

love USXX
