On Wednesday, I went on a Lord of the Rings Tour (yes, another one....yes, I'm a nerd). It was a really good tour. It went to the site of Edoras, the capital city of the Rohans in the second and third movies. The buildings and set are not there anymore, they had to take it all down at the end of filming, but the scenery is stunning. Wednesday night I flew from Christchurch to Wellington, which is on the north island. By flying, I saved two days and didn't have to repeat part of the trip by going to Kaikoura again. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, and I spent Thursday exploring. I went to the Te Papa Museum of New Zealand, which was really cool, and saw the Parliament Building, and walked around downtown. Wellington is a pretty nice city, and the weather was really great.
Today, Friday, was spent back on the bus going to Napier. Napier is the Art Deco capital of New Zealand, and has some very cool architecture. It's also on the west coast, so the Pacific Ocean is right next to it.
Tomorrow it's off to Taupo, then on to Auckland. I can't believe how fast the trip has gone, and I can't believe I have less than a week before I head back home!
