We drove up the west coast of the South Island, via Wanaka, overnighting at Hokitika and took the ferry back to Wellington. It's a windy little city with good restaurants but a pretty pathetic fringe festival that we tried to enjoy. After "Pete the Mentalist Banana"cancelled his show due to illness, we were left with some rather esoteric offerings and managed a laugh or two at "Geraldine, Maiden Aunt!" Not so at the one woman show featuring dialogue with an array of electrical appliances!
We travelled up the west coast of the North Island, staying in New Plymouth, then cut across to Tauranga again, then back to Auckland. By now the rainy weather we had been expecting throughout the trip began to set in.We went to Eden Park with Dave and Louise to see the Proteas against Pakistan, a great day out with a dissapointing finish. On Sunday night we headed back to the Airport and off to Singapore.
