In common with Chicago, Wellington is known as “the windy city” and today demonstrated the reason for this. It is also quite cold for the start of Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. We started today with a 2 hour group city tour. After that, I spent the rest of the day with two really nice friends; we went to the museum, took the cable car to a city high point, walked back down through the botanic gardens, had a splendid lunch by th side of the rose garden, visited an art gallery and had a few drinks before retiring for sn esrly night. A highly enjoyable day! Tomorrow we set off early for the South Island.
