Day 8 - Whakahoro to Wellington

We saw some stormy weather today, but it lightened up for our three stops on our way to Wellington. First stop was Taihape, the world's gumboot throwing capital. We stopped and threw some gumboots. Second stop was Bulls, where the cop-shop has a "Consta-Bull" sign, the day care signs were "Love-Abull" and "Non-Return-Abull", etc. Third stop was to "act like a kid" at the adventure park at Levin.

The wet and windy weather whipped up again as we approached Wellington. We got checked into our accommodation, Nomads Capital, before heading right back out to our afternoon tour, which was AWESOME. Another driver took over who knows lots about Weta ... he drove us to The Roxy Cinema and then to Weta Studios for a tour. Megan, you should look at these last three sites!

Once back from the tour, we walked along Cuba Street in the rain, and then headed right next door to Blend for dinner. We had to say "good-bye" to Tina, Thomas, and Benedict as they were headed back to Auckland early the next morning ... but first, we had a blowout of a party until about 1AM.
