2010, a friday
drove to picton and toured the ship ‘edwin fox’ and its museum. we got in the vehicle queue for the cook strait ferry and I took a nap. we were finally able to drive aboard the huge cargo/passenger boat and enjoyed a picturesque cruise through the sounds. in wellington, the nzi sevens were on, so crazily-dressed rugby fans filled the streets on the way to the stadium. we took the cable car up to the botanic gardens and walked around the observatory and rose gardens. we ate at the restaurant in the garden then drove to the karori wildlife sanctuary for our nighttime tour. the tour was great and very educational - we saw tree wetas and tuataras and heard some little spotted kiwi but didn’t catch a glimpse. when we got to the hotel the insect bite on my leg which had been bothering me for a few days seemed a lot worse - hot to the touch, swollen and purple - so mom took me to the after-hours clinic. sure enough, my leg was ‘quite infected’ so i was prescribed a load of antibiotics, both oral and topical.
