Oh my gosh what a blur..
It's been 8 days.
At least two of those have been the coldest 'summer' days I think I've ever experienced! It's about 12 degrees and raining today in Wellington. Which would be OK, had I been prepared with appropriate clothing. However, I thought "it's SUMMER, what can go wrong?" and thus, equipped with a fleecy hoodie, trotted down south.
HA!
Anyway, it's been fun. I've stayed at my first ever backpackers, bought a raincoat, and started looking for a new home.
Josh went to the airport today to meet his dad, and we then wandered through Te Papa and had tasty Indian food for lunch. They've both since boarded the ferry for the south island, and I've continued wandering the streets - ending up at an internet cafe.
I was very excited because it's got both Skype and webcam, but no-one's online! Oh well.
Otherwise, we've had some great times with my cousins in Palmerston. I took Quinn to the park the other day where she got stung by a "bumble" (bee) and we had to come home for ice before going back for the everlasting Swing (she NEVER gets sick of it!).
Then, she proceeded to repeat the story to me over and over and over...but so earnestly, I just couldn't help but acknowledge her tale.. "Bumble! Face. Hurting. Home. Ice. Park. Duckies. Swing.....Bumble!" etc.
We're getting a cheap car tomorrow, so it will be nice to be mobile again!
I will post some photos when I get back home

Well, we made it
Today's a gorgeous day in Palmerston North. I'm at the library (which, by the way is a really cool building) and thought I'd write a quick entry to say we're still alive.
I haven't got many photos as yet, because I misplaced my camera for a time, and it's been a bit of a blur really!
However, we're settling in and planning our next move.
I'm going to update this a bit later and add more, my time is nearly up so I have to be quick!
Here's some photos of Josh and Quinn (my cousin who is 2).
