28 DAYS IN NEW ZEALAND - TAUPO - WELLINGTON TE PAPA


Maria, me, Elizabeth and Elodie, the best memory we had ever

Raining, 21st July 2010, Wednesday, It took around 4-5 hours from Taupo to Wellington. On the way to the capital city, we passed through the Rangigo Desert. It is a unique barren landscape forms part of New Zealand's only official desert. In the middle way of the freeway, Glen make a rest stop, giving
opportunity to everyone takes amazing photo with Mt. Doom, Tongariro National Park.

Finally, we reached the capital city of New Zealand. It is also known as the second largest city in New Zealand. Without wasting the time, we go ahead Te Papa Museum after checked-in hostel. For me, Te Papa Museum is one of a must go museum in Wellington. It is free access (you can contribute donation as you like). As a Magic passenger, we got a free dinner from the bistro next to the hostel. Free meal wasn’t good. Well, nothing good is free in this world. Everyone got a western curry chicken. Yes, it wasn’t spicy. For sure, it can’t satisfy my stomach and eventually I need to buy a Burger King set meal for my second dinner before get on the bed. The night hasn’t ended. Our “super hot” France girl came in with tipsy and swaying motion. She invited me and Maria to join the bar party where plenty Magic passengers were there. With hesitated, we were grabbed by her to the crazy party. Well, we had lots of fun on that night. Craziness and wildness party night make everyone’s relationship get into next level. Obviously, I had a “super” great sleep after the drink. I admit that I was tipsy on that night. But, not drunk.

I spent my night at Nomads Wellington. I lived in the ten beds dorm. It is spacious with reasonable price. I will say the dorm is not bad. However, I dislike the small kitchen, and the TV room is attached together with the kitchen.
