Wellington

Today was bright blue skies and sunshine and I've been wearing Summer clothes and going a little red in the sun!

We've been to the parliament building and looked all round, then into the Cathedral. Had to return to hotel for change of clothes as first thing it had not looked so promising. Then we carried on to Te Papa the National Museum. As well as art it had information about earthquakes and volcanoes and Maori art work.

Then we mooched round the shops. There are so many things in the shops here I would love for the house, and clothes that are nicer and cheaper than at home but airline luggage allowance is restricting me from spending too much!

Off early tomorrow morning on the Interislander ferry to Picton and from there the Transcoastal Train to Christchurch. After a night in Christchurch we take the Transalpine to Greymouth. I will try and keep you all updated.

We are having a great time, enjoying reading your comments and did I mention the sunshine?

Sounds like you are having a great time! You can always buy stuff then have it shipped home via DHL rather than taking it on the plane. You'll probably end up having to pay duty, but it seems to be ok - I did that when I visited Oz with work.
