The 14-hour flight from Auckland to Costa Rica passed over shorter than expected. So, I spend a long time on the immigration in Houston. They kept moving the queues, which caused chaos. I stayed in a hotel near the airport so I could take the short flight to San Jose, Costa Rica the next day.
To cross Cook Street by ferry was comfortably. We soon arrived in Wellington in the middle of the city and drove to the hostel’s parking lot There we could stay for the next two nights. For dinner we found a small restaurant that served African food. The food was delicious and a huge portion. So, we could take the rest for the next dinner straight away.
After sleeping till late, we were a bit shocked by the gloomy red sky. The smoke from the bush fires of Australia blew right over. Nevertheless, my brother Andi and I walked up and down the mountain quickly. We later tasted wine at a wine shop. In the evening we enjoy the ride on the steamship TSS Earnslaw. When we arrived at a farm there was a delicious BBQ buffet and we could watch a sheep being shorn.
