Days 31-33 Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton, and back to Tauranga

Didn't realise we were being driven double-headed, how exciting

Backpacker's hostel where I stayed in Wellington. Lovely old Art Deco hotel

Wellington railway station

In my element, leaning out of the outside observation car

Back in Hamilton

Irish guy, Don, in guess what......yes, an Irish bar. He had an overnight bus to Wellington to catch. I had to stay in Hamilton for the night, as it was a sunday, and no buses to Graham's place in Tauranga. So a few hours to kill. Don't remember leaving, I guess he got the bus

Back in Tauranga and standing on top of Mt Maunganui next to survey station

and again

Back to Auckland tomorrow (monday) and then Sydney and hopefully catch up with Mike Windsor's mate Charles, and Shaun and Doreen, although I've emailed them but heard nothing back yet
