Thursday we said goodbye to Wellington and headed north. We did see the overhead wires for an electric train. However from my reading, there isn’t great train service in New Zealand except to the main towns. Even then, much of the travel is by air between the major centres, except for the ferry which crosses from North to South Island at Wellington.
It rained much of the day so pictures were more challenging. Paul remarked we drove through areas that reminded him of Southern Ontario, Northern Ontario and then an area that was drier and more like Arizona.
We arrived at our motel for the night with some time left to catch up on blogging and reading newspapers from home on line.
Tomorrow we travel the rest of the way to Auckland.
