What a contrast the north island is to the south? Wellington the capital of NZ is a thriving cosmopolitan little town and compared to the south island there's people, lots of people!
Having been in the south island for what seemed to be an eternity. I must admit I felt like I had crossed over to a different country. Will I not witness the wonders of the south island again?
If you're into food like me than Wellington is pretty cool as not only is it the capital of NZ but it is also the cafe capital. Yes I was in my element!
You've got the best of both worlds here as the beaches are only a short drive away.
Wellington is the nicest city/town in NZ to date. It has a lot of character in it's architecture and combines sophistication with tranquility.
