koromiko
we are enjoying ourselves in wellington. the city is very vibrant and it seems that most everyone is keen on being social. the city also appears to appreciate the arts, so right now it is on the top of our contender list for possible places of residence.
we are now wwoofing at koromiko homestay with three great hosts; chris, kris and andy. the picture above is the view of wellington from one of their decks; the same view can be seen from a couple of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the house and from the outdoor bathtubs. we hope to enjoy the latter at some point - our hosts have actually assigned us the wwoofer task of taking a soak before we leave. our host's house was designed and built in the 1970's by wellington famous architect roger walker (check out the link above for pictures of the 'architectural curiosity'). here is a shot of the very comfortable 'summer house' we are staying in, which was recently constructed by our hosts in the same architectural composition (della's been pumping iron in the afternoons lately).
our wwoofer tasks so far have been pulling weeds and digging out a basement (i.e. converting a crawlspace into a basement), so our muscles are growing.
we leave for the south island in two days. in order to get there we need to take a three and a half hour ferry across the cook strait. hopefully the weather is decent.

Great. just great. you seem to be making exceptional time on this little journey. are there any repercussions due to the lengthy periods of driving? the 'dead ass' affliction? the sweaty shoulder syndrome? hopefully you can stop and enjoy some of whatever they have down there to enjoy...

try choosing the "save to computer" option. we'll try to fix it on our end as well.
