Wellington

Hitching from Taranaki to Wellington was a real treat! It took us 5 different hitches to get there, but we managed to get to Wellington in the early afternoon. One of the hitches we took was with a big truck. The driver was a little bored doing the road back and forth on his own so he invited us into his huge cabin. It was just a day after Oren declared that he wants to go on a ride with a truck, so we figured that NZ has completely turned on our side, and our next days are guaranteed to be good. The last hitch we took was defiantly in the top most 5! We got down in Whanganui and loaded our backpacks back to their place (on our shoulders). We took the sign "Wellington" and just played with it while walking to the junction, when a guy stopped and asked: "Do you need to Wellington?". Now we were sure. Ranginui (Father sky) and Papatuanuku (Mother earth) are united, and they are on our side. We promised to try and get the best pictures of NZ we can, for them.

As you dedicated readers probably noticed, we have some delays in our posting. This is due to the fact that there are some other stuff we have to do while traveling around the world except writing. These chores include unimportant and boring things like hiking, sailing on boats, sightseeing, meeting new people and old people and taking heaps of photos. Therefore we decided to publish the photos that we sorted as soon as they are out of the oven, without waiting for the posts. Since we know, and see from the heaps of responses, that all of you read our posts with admirable devotion, we are humbly offer our deepest apologies.
Here are some pictures from Wellington, which does absolutely no justice to this wonderful city. Next albums will be published in the following days.
