Wellington

Having had a lovely train journey down from Auckland to Wellington yesterday, I am now staying with Betty and Douglas (old family friends) and it's lovely to be in a proper home for a change. I enjoyed seeing the varied countryside of North Island. One minute you think you could be in Mid Wales, and the next you spot a tree fern or other exotic plant and the illusion goes.
Wellington is living up to its windy reputation - we visited two different beaches today and at both were nearly knocked over by the wind.
I'm updating the blog today on their computer not mine so it would be complicated to add photos - but it's a beautiful coastline here, and quite wild within just a few miles of the city.
Just trying to sort out my crossing over to South Island in a few days time - the buses and ferries don't seem to co-ordinate very well!
