i have made my way up the west coast of the South Island and crossed over to the lovely city of Wellington on the North Island. Wellington is the world's most southern capital city and a very dynamic cultural and political hotbed. i came here to see a orthopedic surgeon to check out my ailing right knee which i have been having trouble with. after consulting and viewing my MRI with him i determined to carry on with the bike trip up to Auckland where i will fly to Australia in a few weeks. from here the plan is to circumnavigate Mt. Taranaki on the west coast and possibly climb the mountain. then over to the east cape and slowly up to Auckland. the weather has been perfect since i have been in Welly, spring has become summer and everyone is getting ready for their holiday season. i have had some time to explore the surrounding area, rode up to the Mt. Victoria lookout, went to the Te Papa Museum of NZ and also spent a lot of time reading and making use of the fantastic library here.i have a lot of appreciation for this place.
