Blimey can it rain over here! 6 hours of torrential downpour, three hours of which were spent driving from Picton to Nelson, where we're holedd up for the moment.
Wellington was great. The place itself is nothing special but the Basin Reserve cricket ground is as good a place to watch cricket in as one could ask for. Grass bank, late evening sun, cold beer. Marvellous stuff. Welly lost in the final over but that wasn't a problem for me. Many beers then followed with Rich's mates and a good night out was had by all. I'll confess to not feeling too clever yesterday though.
to which end, the entire day was spent lounging around watching Boosh then getting a ferry to the South Island. Stayed in a hostel last night that was full of Other People. Not sure I'm cut out for this backpacking malarkey. Still, we're in a motel tonight so it's a relative luxury. I think the bottom line is that I'm not going to be impressed by any place where you have to provide your own towel. It's just Not Right.
Tonight's going to be watching Super 14 rugby then heading to Abel Tasman National Park. Hopefully Tropical Storm Bruce will have left us alone by then...
