Further Wanderings

Yeah yeah. That’s a terrible title. You aren’t the first to have thought that. But this entry IS about a voyage home, and it’s probably my favourite of the Star Trek movies, so deal with it.

Well… Most of this entry happened in the rather distant past, but I think I ought to write about it anyway, because:

B. It’s a pretty entertaining story.

C. It will provide a nice intro for our (Sarah and I’s) trip back to NZ.

Our journey started simply. My flatmate Pablo drove us down to the Wellington ferry docks and we climbed aboard for the trip across to the South Island.
