Today, Alex, Philou and their friend Aline came in wellington because there will take the ferry in two days. So we decided to visit The Papa museum of the capital.
Wellington, Te Papa museum
Wellington, New year eve
We are still the 31th but not for a long time again :-) Around 11pm we plan to go all together on the harbour and see the fireworks but it’s really windy so it’s not sure that the city organize something. We will see.
Wellington, first tour
I met the others, Stella, Thomas, Vinz, Shanna, Thomas, Rob, Christian, Leïa and Mathilde :-) They are visiting the botanic garden together but I need some time to set my tent and arrange my stuff. I will go later. Now, I having a little turn of wellington.

Following Napier’s friend to Wellington for New years eve
Featherston > Wellington (50km, 3h)
Today for the first time I’m going to take the train. In fact, between Featherston and Upper Hurt stands a big hill (600m). The road is narrow, in a windy gorge with many cars. Different people advised me to catch the train so, yes, I will. And it’s change, I like that :-) At 7am, it’s maybe a good time to cross the road but be careful okay?.
Featherston, day off
At the beginning, I thought I could pass a good day here but now it’s windy, rainy and sunny in the same time. The rain come from the west and the sun heat the tent from the east. I can go outside but it’s so hot inside! Rah!
Eketahuna > Featherston (84km, 3h52)
Today is getting nicer. The weather is not to bad and I know I will find a free campsite in Featherston. And I’m faster than I expected. We are 29th so I will certainly have one day off in the camp next to the lake. Nice :-)
