KIA ORA!!!

We've arrived in New Zealand! We are in Wellington staying with one of our friends here. Its such a luxury to have a homebase again! We've been able to relax and really enjoy Wellington. We caught the end of the summer here, along with the Fringe festival and the Cuba Street Carnival! People here are really friendly and we've had a lot of fun just walking around and exploring here. Our buddy John is also a huge tramper (Kiwi lingo for hiker) so he's taken us on a few great hikes. We are acytually heading out today to do 2 day hikes up near Tongariro and Taranaki. I promise we'll put up pics of our hikes and stories once we get back. Hope everyone is excellent! Miss you all! Karina and Christian
