We’ve stumbled into unusual weather in springtime New Zealand with flooding and wind at 120 KM/H, so we’re exploring some of the interiors of the area (otherwise known as stuck). No tenting for us! Instead, last night we spent the night in a virtually empty old nurses’ quarters of an old hospital – yes, it’s as creepy as it sounds.
Tonight, with Wellington’s airport cancelling flights left and right and our hopes to take a ferry from the North Island to the South Island, we may stay the night in aptly-named Greytown.
All is not doom & gloom though, we’ve had some wonderful hospitality (otherwise known as free beer) and yesterday hiked 19km to and from a gannett colony (see pictures).
