penguin

i got up at 4.30am and drove to the airport to get the 6am flight.  it was really cold on the flight and in wellington at that time of day so i hid in my hoody and slept.

when i got to wellington i decided to take public transport to the centre of town as i had plenty of time and thought i’d save the company a bit of money.  but it was a dreadful mistake as it ended up taking over an hour to get there as the bus was 30 minutes late.  oh well.

i walked past some random religious nutters protesting outside parliament.  and there were some great mannequin window displays which i suspect may be art related

at lunch i went for a walk round the bay a bit

and some tourists mentioned something in the water

can you see it ? it was a little penguin and he even climbed up the stairs a little bit so i could see him properly whilst i sat on a wall

anyway, i attempted to get the work shuttle bus back to the airport and that failed too so i ended up getting a taxi.  and then this evening i’ve been out for a giant stomp with warren from up the road

meanwhile i think everyone had a good day here (despite me accidentally taking jane’s watch, her house keys and her car keys to wellington).  and Chris was dispatched back to the bus station at some point this morning.  so there.  byeee

    So cool – I’ve never run into a penguin on a lunchtime walk – not since the chocolate biscuits of my youth anyway 🙂
