Today I turned in my car at the Interislander Ferry terminal and hopped on the ferry headed north to Wellington, NZ and the North Island. I was leaving one of the most amazing places on the planet and some great people I'd met over my month and a half traveling around there. Gratefully, it wasn't the end of my trip. I would only be entering into a new phase of it.
In Wellington I'd be staying at a hotel on Cuba Street - a very centrally-located street with tons of restaurants and things to do. As such, I won't be picking up a car until II'm ready to leave Wellington to head north. I should be able to walk everywhere.
I had also met my goal of going two months without a haircut. But REALLY wanted to get it cut. I was told that places close for Easter, so if I didn't get a haircut today, I'd have to wait until maybe Tuesday of next week, though, I'm planning to pull out on Tuesday, so that may not work either. Fortunately, as I walked into the hotel I could see a place right next door that I could get my haircut at. The hotel front desk told me they would likely be closed, but the lady in the shop said she'd fit me in if I came back in 30 minutes. I was grateful to walk out of their with a little less hair an hour later.
The hotel room is very small, but clean, and you can't beat the location!
