Day 150 Wellington, New Zealand
Saturday 5th November 2005

17 °C
Spent another day on my own as I wanted to walk up to Mt Victoria and the others were going to drive up it. By the time I left the hostel it was around 12pm and straight from there I headed up the steep road where the track started to take me up the mountain. Even though its not actually that high its still a fairly steep climb which took me by surprise and it was very windy today but the views from the top made me appreciate it all the more. It was just a shame the sun never came out as I would of then been more than happy to spend a few hours up here relaxing, but instead after around 30 minutes looking out over Wellington I then headed back down the path.
The rest of the day was just spent trying to update my diary in an internet café but to no avail so I headed back to the hostel and did some washing before meeting up with the others so we could all go out for a meal and then watch the fireworks for Bonfire Night, which turned out to be a very spectacular display.
