The cabin we stay at in Charleston is so cute. It is SO quiet at the holiday camp, and the sunset is very pretty. The owners have a great kitchen facility with everything, and a large family sized dining table in the centre. We watch the news and some documentary about helping troubled teens.
Back on the road early and its a pretty straight shot through to Blenheim. We eat lunch at a cafe there and get on the road again for the 2pm ferry. The crossing is initially great, in the harbour with a glass of wine and the cool sea breeze, but the rapidly goes down hill as soon as we hit the open sea and I can't wait for it to be over.
We arrive in Wellington and head over to see Sarah and Hadleigh, where we will spend the next two nights. We make a poor attempt at attending the music in the gardens, and end up back at the apartment eating bad thai food and catching up.
The weather is perfect while we are in Welly. We take a drive around oriental parade to a wee cafe at Scorching Bay, catch up with friends, have coffee in the city with Had and Sarah, and eat out at a great Indian restaurant which consequently ends in a night on the town at various clubs.
We are very tempted to stay longer, we both love it there. But back on the road it is! Taupo next.
