the girls went shopping and jane and i went to the a world war one museum which was excellent

we all met up again at te papa, then went back to the hotel to pick up our cases then got a taxi to the airport

a massive storm was blowing across the country so i half expected our flight to be cancelled but it wasn’t and in the end it was a fine flight except some bumps just after take off in windy wellington

there ends our wellington trip.  we had amazing, though chilly weather for most of it and got a taste of the notorious wet/windy stuff too!
