Wellington, NZ
The Great Kiwi Roadtrip continues!!
The Interislander Ferry is located in Wellington, the national capital of New Zealand which is situated on the southernmost tip of the North Island. No, we hadn’t ever heard of it either. Mostly because, aside from being conveniently located in the geographic center of the country to make it as accessible as possible to all citizens (see, again, Kiwis are just nice people, even to each other) and being the seat of the national government, Auckland trumps Wellington as the international city of New Zealand. Simply put, there’s no rude nickname for Wellington-ers, like there is for the JAFAs up north.
It’s in the interest of education and making you look important that we use the slur, bro. Don’t get mad.
Remember when we discussed how sailors spend their 90 days in French Polynesia? If you wanted to spend a month each on 3 of the islands or spread out to more remote places to spend a week here and a week there? Though we joked about it at the time, we never flat out asked the question, “What if a week in French Polynesia is all you got?”
