On To Wellington



Dinner at the winery was wonderful.

We made our way down to Wellington with a couple of stops along way - drove through nice farm country.  We had to detour around the gorge, where the highway has been out for 8 months due to rock slides and subsequent instability.  There was a large section of Wind Turbines which we drove amongst.

Arrived at our hotel around 4:30 PM and phoned the only people we know in NZ.  Ruth Gardner, who I worked with and Leil Setchell whose Dad I used to work with. Leil will pick us up tomorrow for lunch and Ruth for dinner.

Had dinner here at the hotel and then went for a walk afterwards.  Not a lot to see as we are in the government, business/financial section of the city.  Wellington is an extremely windy city.
