New Zealand

I’ve been waiting a very long time to see New Zealand, mostly because a little trilogy of books I read in my teens.

Napier probably wouldn’t be on my list of places to visit in New Zealand, but it was fun to see all the Art Deco buildings in the town.

We didn’t do a huge amount in Wellington, but we did visit Weta Workshop where I got to be all geeky about Lord of the Rings and prop making.

New Zealand hasn’t exactly been a cheap date so far, but given the fact that it’s fantastically beautiful we’re willing to overlook that fact.

For the past few days I haven’t really done much, though we have seen a large chunk of New Zealand’s South Island through the window of the car.
