Interesting Travel to Wellington

Two hour drive from the B&B to Wellington.  Quite a dicey trip, spent over an hour crossing a mountain pass that was so steep and winding, we averaged 25 km an hour (18mph)  Nan tells me the views were breathtaking, I never took my eyes off the road or my hands off the wheel. Spent the afternoon visiting the New Zealand National Museum Te Papa and now back at our first "backpacker"  a hostel type accomodation reasonably priced, private bathroom and tv.  We are down in the 4th floor common area where we are getting ready to prepare chicken stir fry and a salad plate.  Plan cook up everything we have and then share it with the youth surrounding us.  Taking the 6pm ferry to Picton so Nan can see the 360'degree sunset. Then book another backpacker in the South Island
