From Wellington we headed directly to Taranaki, north west of it. It is an impressive volcano (2500m) which can be seen from the beach. You have to be lucky for it however, in three days we could not see it because of continuis clouths.
While in New Plymouth, we learned that in Taranaki it rains even more than in Milford Sound. That and the weather conditions made us decline the 2 day walk track that we planned. A pity...
But luckily for us, the van did super passing the WoF (Warranty of Fitness), which is the New Zealand equivalent of TüV or ITV. It had no issues, and the guys fom Nissan did the job quick and cheap. Now we can try to sell the van! If you are interested in coming here, have a look at it on : http://nissan-awd.blogspot.com
We slept in total three nights in there and then headed north. The pictures on the beach are in the three sisters.
I have just realised that I did not write much about what we did in Wellington in the last post, well we went for a beer, to the cinema (source code), to a tattoo museum and not much more this time.
salut!
