Greatings from Whanganui! We're in a nice campsite at the mo... strange I should mention that except that last night we camped in a carpark in the middle of Wellignton!! Very handy for Te Papa in the morning but a little strange! We handily arrived off the ferry in Wellington just as a Rolling Stones gig was kicking out down the road - 45000 people descended on our bus! EEEEEEKKKKK!!!!
We went to the Lord of the Rings exhibition in Te Papa, which if you're a fan is fantastic! All the costumes, behind the scenes stuff (although it's all probably on the DVDs), and a fantastic device that takes photos of you in that weird perspective, so i looked even shorter than James! Very cool for me, but James was bored senseless!
We are currently in the world's most deserted caravan park, but it's clean and we had a good nights sleep (compared with the noise of SH1 !) The roads actually have more than one lane in the N Island, and everyone drives like they do in London, cutting up our 6metre long bus!
Anyway, it's off to Waitomo for the Glow Worm cabes today, and then onto Rotorua for the thermal spas! Huzzah!
Yes Millwall are relegated - you wanna make somefing of it?

The LOTR exhibition sounds great! Did you see THE ring of power?
Sorry about the Millwall news. I'm sure they will scare the 3rd division teams into not even turning up for games so they'll be back up in no time. :-)
Thanks Jim and Jo for looking after our house - we (Jo) were worried there would be a big puddle from the fridge on the kitchen floor! And you went and got a new house without us! Who will we go down the Barn with now???
Yes Dom, we DID see the ring of power - it was all fairly cool (if you like that sort of thing, which I do - James was bored stiff though!). There was also something on the gigantic spider thing, which I walked passed very quickly as it scared the hell out of me! It was all good though - plus we parked in the Museum car park the night before, which was an experience all in itself!
