Wellington, Capital city of NZ

Today is Friday and I am taking my first rest day. I made it to Wellington yesterday and met Mack who guided me me to their beautiful beachside home at Pukerua Bay . Had supper with Pauline and Mack, plus daughters Michelle and Hayley, and their children , Freya who I haven't seen since she was 3 back in 2000. Also Tommy and  Jamie aged 9 and 5 ( I think ).
I have a lovely comfortable bed with a sea view, better than my tent!
Last night at 11pm just got into bed and nearly fell out again, the house rocked with quite a jolt from an Earthquake!  According to Geonet NZ it was only 3.9 and quite deep but very close to the coast just nearby. Scary.
Yesterday was a glorious hot sunny day, see the attached pic of Wellington Harbour. Today I awoke to rain, hope it clears up as I fancied a walk along the beach.

  1. How can you talk about you tent like that, after it has traveled with you all that way!
    Enjoy your stay with the rellies and recuperate for the next stage. At this rate you be back here next week.
