nz day 16: dawson falls and mt. taranaki

Kristin's journal entry: "Today we headed out towards Wellington.  We were hoping to see Mt. Taranaki, but it was obscured by clouds.  Instead, we went to a possum tannery, and I found a beautiful possum/merino sweater and a merino shirt.  Nathan bought socks and gloves for his family.  We had a great conversation with one of the owners and ended up staying over an hour.  While we were in the area, we went to look at Dawson's Falls."





This is about all we could see of Mt. Egmont/Taranaki, but we had seen it clearly from the plane on our first day in the country.


Kristin's journal entry: "When we finally got to Wellington, we did a grocery store run and settled in for the night.  Our cottage is nice - it is large with a washer, dryer, dishwasher, kitchenette, etc."




Nathan's journal entry: "Our cottage had a complimentary bottle of wine and a sliding partition to close off the bedroom.  Kristin thought the partition should be painted like the wall and furniture behind it so you wouldn't know when it is closed."
