Getting Together with Friends



Today was a different day as we spent it with people we knew from Canada.  Leil Setchell picked us up at noon and took us on a great tour of Wellington.  We went up to a single wind turbine that was the first installed in New Zealand in the 1990’s.  We then drove all along the shoreline.  Wellington has a very extensive shoreline because of the significant number of bays throughout it.  We ended up at The Chocolate Fish where Leil treated us to a great fish lunch.

After we said goodbye to Leil we wondered around downtown and found our way back to the hotel.  We then met Ruth Gardiner at 5:30 PM in the hotel lobby and she introduced us to her fiancé, Ian.  This was a total surprise to me but he was very nice and I am happy for Ruth.   They took us out to a lovely dinner on a wharf, overlooking the harbour.  I really didn’t want them to pay but they insisted.
