Wellington Day 2

We arrived in Wellington yesterday late afternoon after a 15 minute Car ride to the Station, a 5 Hour train ride to Picton, a 3 hour boat ride to Wellington and another 15 minute car ride to the Motel where we arrived exhausted and miserable - the weather being cold and rainy!

We woke this morning to a foggy (they closed Wellington Airport) miserable morning and were feeling quite down for a while - then the sun came out, the fog lifted and so did our spirits - it turned out to be a very nice warm day, so that was nice!

We did the local shops, the cable car and the Carter Observatory - we had a drive round to a very nice bay the other side of Wellington - and may go there again tomorrow. We finished off the evening with an Indian meal - the likes of which I have never tasted, nor wish to ever again - we should have listened to the advice we were given by Verig and Verna!

Tomorrow we plan to do Te Papa - the big modern museum, and finish off the evening with a meal in Scorpios - NZ's ONLY Welsh restaurant! (If we can find it! and if we can get into Wellington as King Kong is premiering tomorrow night!).

Vern - we had mixed feelings about Singapore - overall we quite enjoyed it though!

That's all for now folks!
