When is a Cable Car not a cable Car

Jun 12th. When it's Wellington's Cable Car - It actually is a funicular railway and is well not worth the trip as there isn't much of the view from the top anyway. There are some botanical gardens at the top and an observatory which is meant to be interesting - shame it is closed for refurbishment. Not great really but these things happen. I went to the flicks yesterday and watched 'Zodiac' - Really good film and worth watching. The resort I want to go to is opening on Wednesday but it is mainly artificial snow so I am not sure about taking the chance and heading down there. The one thing I do want to do before I leave NZ is to throw myself out of a plane at 15,000 ft at Lake Taupo - fitting this in with skiing is looking tricky although everything is possible, it just costs money. I had a nice nap in the afternoon and have generally lazed around - I made myself a cracking curry - chicken and red capsicums (That is peppers in UK English). It is good having some down time - not a care in the world - I need to recharge my batteries for Fiji, US and Canada. Won't be doing much relaxing in Fiji as I will be spending lots of time underwater.
