The Capithole
Soundtrack: “B-Sides And Rarities (Volumes I-III)” by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Saturday 11th June. Wellington, which not many people realise is the capitol of NZ until they get to it. It’s one of those places like Canberra and Pretoria, really, except it’s probably (I can’t say for sure as I haven’t visited the other two) much prettier, being in NZ and all.
The Rotorua to Taupo leg of my coach journey started off bright and sunny, but soon became mist-enshrouded once more, and because I couldn’t see the fine details, the land reminded me of home. Taupo was very fine, though, and the lake looked lovely. It was very serene, very placid… heavenly, almost. I was also impressed greatly as Lake Taupo in the largest lake in the country. After transferring coaches in Taupo, the next leg was continuous to Wellington. It was rather long and the last hour-and-a-half was in the dark, which was a shame. Other wise, it was a really cool drive, through ethereal valleys and a high-up desert road.
