Back in Wellington, end of South Island tour

Well, we finally had to abandon the South Island and make for Wellington to begin our job and house search. Got lucky again with the crossing, no violent seas to report, although Wellington has been lashed by high winds and rain since we arrived. There was even a big thunder storm with the loudest crack of thunder we have ever heard at about 4am!, which made us jump out of bed with a fright, I can tell you!! Finding work and accomodation for the next 6 months is now our top priority, hopefully we will find something soon on both fronts. That's all for now...
