Long day - we arrived in Auckland at 5.30 am and in Wellington at 8.30am. So lucky ha ha to have John Keys NZ prime minister across the aisle from us. Spotted this guy when we checked in to our hotel
Went shopping and wandering. Lovely day and a sailing ship in the harbour
We enjoyed roaming around - the city is buzzing with people - big rugby game tomorrow and Ian was delighted to see some rugby greats including Colin Meads
There's a few cemeteries outside our room
Tonight we went to dinner with Raylene and Ken - lovely to catch up and of course I didn't take a photo - Sunday
On the way back we passed a sculpture to Katherine Mansfield - one of NZ probably best known short story writers
Detail
Long day when you travel through the night - more adventures tomorrow

Love the kiwi - a nice welcome for travelers. Enjoy your visit.
I hope you have had a good rest to be ready for the game tonight - does Ian go dressed in All black colours? Cheers
Enjoy - always a good time to be had in Welly :-)
We in Europe forget (or don't know!) how great the distances are in Australia - I've just been looking at the atlas and Perth to Wellington is over 5000 km (3260 or so miles), whew! That's many hours on a plane!
