wellington

ive been in new zealand for about a week and its a lovely place. wellington is more like a coastal town then a city (think whitby/york) with the harbour and rolling hills/mountains. ive been to Te Papa museum, wellington zoo, upper hutt village, etc.................
i went to day 1 of the 2nd test today, it was going well until the collapse but a fantastic unbroken stand between ambrose and collingwood has put us in a good position, hopefully ambrose will get his 100 in the morning, he was quite attacking and looks to be very promising. the barmy army was quite loud in the afternoon and i was close to them so that was pretty kool, in the morning i was sitting right in front of the players wives which i did'nt realise until they started chatting (there was pietersons, bells, sidebottom and a few others there) and i heard them talking about there evening plans and pietersons wife was saying he gives her a special signal when he comes out to bat (which he did). i also got handed a free barmy army programme from the leader (the bloke who always see's england, st. george vest, top hat, flag and long blond hair).
i also saw the nets yesterday which was interesting.
there was a small problem at the wellington hostel where i booked 2 weeks accom. in three blocks on the internet (6/6/2) but did'nt realise there was a 6 night max stay, the receptionist said i had 'worked the system' like it was some great devious plan but they said its ok for this time. i have found somewhere in napier to stay at last for a decent price.

i also sent a package home which should arrive sometime towards the end of next week.

the rest of the time ive just been on the internet - here's 3 good things to look up
