Mondays news from NZ

Brian looked after us today, we went to a couple of the museums in Wellington which were really good, especially Te Papa - very child-friendly, so I liked it!

We managed to extract some cash from a bank with difficulty, had to use the old Halifax card, Nationwide apparently no good. (ohh hope thats only one bank!!)

In one of the museums there was a film about the wreck of the Wahine in the 1960s in Wellington harbour, a ferry, great loss of life and of course a lot of film - terribly sad. And tomorrow we sail to the South Island. The weather is not looking good, rain and mist and gales predicted. These days they are more keen to cancel sailings in such conditions. Fingers crossed!

Paul and Brian had a long walk in a wildlife area near Lower Hutt while I sat in the car, it is marvellous country and so close to Wellington.

Chris Cossham and his partner Joanna came this evening for coffee - we feel really sad to be parting with all the family, but hope they can come and see us some time.
