Wellington

Well what do we say, but yes Wellington is WINDY!!!!! Very, very windy. Our hotel was small and comfortable but the noise factor, from Christmas Parties that went on until the early hours of the morning, made sleeping a little difficult.

On Friday when we arrived the city was wall to wall traffic, something we had become very unused to. There were people everywhere and it continued well into the evening. Saturday morning it was like a ghost town in comparison. Supposedly most people had retreated to the “burbs”. We had a pleasant day, actually managing to walk around the harbour without being blown in. In the afternoon, we went to see The Hobbit at “The Embassy” the very theatre and the very auditorium in which the World Premiere was held. Wow! Plush bucket seats, 3D glasses all the bells and whistles and the movie was great. You might notice some Burton Hobbits in Wellington.
