Today was mostly travelling – we left Napier in lovely sunshine. The airport was small and surrounded by the most amazing scenery, and blissfully casual – no endless queues at scanners or anything like that.
Flew to Wellington, and as we got nearer the pilot announced that we were in a holding pattern above the airport. And there were several other planes in the pattern. And we were all going to take it in turns to try to land…It was pretty windy, but the pilot made an impressively smooth landing. Wellington was not sunny. It was windy and wet, and Wellington boots were what you needed. Inside the airport was fine though, and there was some impressive ceiling architecture…
Dunedin was sunny again, and full of more spectacular scenery. Rob was remarkably cheerful about the sunshine – until the clouds came down from the hills. Not only did the city have Scottish architecture, it also had Scottish mist and rain. Not so impressive…
The motel’s really smart though, and has a washing machine in the room – tomorrow, I know what we need to do! And we’ll see what the weather’s like for the rest of the day.
