Bye Bye North Island

The holiday season is upon us! We went to Wellington, the second largest city in the North Island with its 410 000 inhabitants and over, place where we take the ferry that will take us on the South Island of New Zealand. Wellington to us is above all the crazy life of a city can provide so we both know we will spend too much time.

But before going there, since the book our place on board we leaves 4 days in the south, we stop in Tararua Forest Park''to''once again hike, which activitée Karo joins us and me. Despite threatening clouds, we start with the idea to come back the next day completely soaked. The views are more beautiful obviously gaining altitude and our little hut perched near the top of the mountain ahead of us, cold and wet in the clouds. During the night, so we managed to warm (Karo had decided not to bring his sleeping bag and we would use mine as a cover ...), s'abbat rain on us with winds rather disturbing but hey, at least we were until morning was dry and had to return but the fog was so intense that the landmarks were no longer visible. So I got the kit late walker woods with my compass and map to realize that the last half hour of descent led us not to the right place. Karo''Go, go up it worse will seek the right path'', and the poor was completely disorientated and panic rather with the winds that moves us literally from one side to another of the simulated path we followed. And like any good thing done well with Gab, well we took the right path and landmarks reassured us as and as we advance towards the forest, a few hundred meters below. Whew!

The end of the trip on the North Island was very good despite the rain ends rather constant since a storm has created more waves and I could go surfing super good waves on the southern island of North. Here is a video made by tit Karoline middle of my talents to surf:



tite After a visit to a museum in the city of Wellington, we embarked on the ferry and we looked behind us all the good times spent on the island of North. Several people told us: "Spend too much time on the North Island, go to the South Island." But I find it hard to imagine that the South Island will be at the height of such large expectations because we have extremely loved our trip on the North Island. In fact, my impression now is that if people spend a vacation of 2 weeks to 1 month in New Zealand, images of the South Island will probably be much more impressive the North Island. But the fact is that the North Island has more history, more people, and has the character is not found on the South Island. The thermal springs, surfing, Maori, steps and the climate will be more difficult to find on the South Island. So we'll see if what I say now will be true in 4 months when we embark on the plane to Australia.

Next update: the holiday season, the South Island, and others.
