Wellington came alive on Monday morning. The Wellingtonians who couldn’t manage a whole three weeks of closing down had returned from their vacations and were generating, if not quite a rush hour, certainly a collective stroll. I checked out of my hotel and headed to the ferry terminal. An hour or so later, I checked out of North Island altogether. I was heading south. New Zealand's North Island has more people— roughly three million to the South Island's one—and is the more significant nest of Maori culture, for the majority of Maori settled in the north, where the climate is warmer and closer to that of their native Polynesia. But the South Island has the wild West Coast and the monumental, snowcapped Southern Alps. It is the South Island that is home to the mists and waterfalls that enshroud the staggering granite rock formations of Fiordland and plays host to the endless, golden expanses of Otago. The South Island, people had told me, was a whole new world. If I’d liked the north, they said, I was going to love the south.
