wellington #5 (a week ago)

This is our last day in Wellington. Just wanted to mention that we concluded our coastal excursion yesterday in Porirua by which time it had gotten hot. Or at least it had gotten seemslike hot. 


We walked to the gallery and it was seemed hot. Here are the gallery reviews:




Above is the only thing in the gallery (which is also the Porirua museum) that acknowledges Porirua's status as a 'new town', or whatever it is (there seems to be great reluctance to label it as such generally). 
In the evening we went to Thorndon for our dinner which was special. These buildings are just incredible. Just incredible.  
This morning I went out to get coffee and it was bright. I am not sure if I will have more to tell you about Wellington, I may, we still have a few more hours here, but if our plane crashes into the ocean I won't get to discuss it with you, sorry if so. 


So much to my surprise no plane crash into the ocean but the plane was very late to take off, not for the usual Qantasishopeless reason but because of a 'security breach' which meant that once on the plane (and already running late) we had to all file off, and go through security a second time. Pretty ridiculous. But we got back obviously and everything was fine obviously. 

Love NZ! Would go back there anytime. Amazing country.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
