Moving On


We arrived at Wellington airport with several hours to spare and, finding little room for exploration in our vicinity as there were only three gates, settled ourselves near the bar. Well, once the delayed Sydney flight was called, we were left completely on our own - see photo - and the girl serving behind the bar, who had said she would be there until 18:30, simply disappeared for an hour.

Arrival at Melbourne was just as the sun was setting, so I took some lovely photos from the plane.

Farewell to NZ

And so we say farewell to New Zealand after 45 days. Great experience with loads of good memories. Spent the last hour before heading to the airport in the Botanic Gardens in Wellington. People living in the houses (left) high above the city and harbour must have brilliant views.

Now in Melbourne for a week after pleasant flight over. Comfort Inn room a huge improvement on last place in Wellingon, a so called Quality Inn but more like Fawlty Towers. Dave
