NZ (6 Dec): Taupo-Wellington

Weather: Chilly in the morning in Taupo, sunny on the way to Wellington, then light showers and windy when we reached Wellington

The drive from Taupo to Wellington was rather long. We drove off at 8am, made several stops for meals and breaks before finally arriving in Wellington at about 3pm. After a quick check-in at our accommodation, we dropped the car and then Omega gave us a ride back to our accommodation.

Couldn't resist jumping off the car when we saw sheeps but they all ran away when they see us approaching, except for this staring one ;p

Accommodation:
Central Stratford Apartment Hotel – NZD99/night from wotif.com for an open plan apartment with full laundry and kitchen facilities including dishwasher. Small but it had everything we needed, especially the washing machine and dryer so we washed our clothes. Our room no. was 1007. Our only complain was the lack of internet, even though we were prepared to pay. Again, location was good – only 5min walk to town centre and the supermarket, New World.
