After sleeping 9 hours, it was a long day on the bus, which put me to sleep again. We checked out the Museum, then checked into the backpackers, which was a bit grim. Dave (Aussie), Daniel (Swiss), a Swedish woman, and I headed off in search of Thai food. In the hostel bar we played giant Jenga and giant Connect Four for awhile. After tomorrow, most of the original group will be gone. Dave, Claire, Sara, Kathy, Ines, Kathelijjn , and I remain. Tomorrow we take the ferry to the South Island. I haven't seen much of Wellington, but it doesn't seem to be that great of a place.
