Arrival in Godzone

Good Day From "Godzone"

Well I just arrived in Wellington NZ the capital on New Zealand located on the southern tip of the North Island of New Zealand. I am starting a seven week kayaking holiday and I wanted to share my experience with my friends, family and complete strangers that have nothing better to do in those long lonely hours of the night. I have purchased a little van that I will travel/live in for the trip and I am currently on the hunt for a kayak. I brought over 170lbs of gear, nothing like traveling light! Yes I did bring the kitchen sink, I'm sure of it cause I had to shlep it through the airport several time.

It quite windy here in Wellington. It is really not a very big city ( by my standards ) it reminds of a hilly town on the coast of Italy that you see in long shots on multiple movies. I've going to take the Ferry over to the South Island and start my trip in the Far South and work my way north finishing up in Auckland and the NorthLands. Chasing Summer. The weather here has already started to cool and as NZ is so close to Antartica it will get colder still as late summer gives way to fall.
