It is so sad that our adventure is nearly over - i dont really want to post what may be my last comment for this adventure.
Our room in Wellington was really lovely - the beds were soooo comfy. But all to soon the alarm clock went off at 7.00am on Thursday morning and we had to get up. We planned to leave at 8.00 in order to get a good start to the driving - we were slightly behind target when we got the car started at 8.30am. Wellington city is enormous and it took us ages to get out and on to the motorway. As we drove along i was overcome with the similarly to IReland. It was raining alot and the fields on each side of the road were the same as the fields at home - in fact it felt like driving to Dublin (before the motorways bypassed the towns). We stopped for lunch at 12.00 and then i took the wheel. Unfortunately the new car didnt have an MP3 plug so instead we sang songs as we drove along - including some Christmas ones. The time passed quickly and shortly after 8 hours we made it to the hotel. We had noticed that the travel agent had booked us in for the wrong nights so i was worried that would be homeless last night - but thank God the holy souls came to our rescue and we had a room for the night. We were both exhausted so we got room service and watched tv. This morning we got up late and have been doing some shopping for the last few hours. ( FOR SIMONS EYES ONLY: i got some Christmas pressies - will fill you in next week)
We check out of the hotel tomorrow and our flight is sunday morning at 1.10am. We havent fully decided what we will do yet but it will involve packing. We had to buy another case today as our stuff has mysterious grown.
Anyway toodle doo for now.
