Day 63

This morning John and I headed away in his car. He tows the car on a frame attached to his motorhome and when he gets to a destination he can separate the two and trip around in a normal size vehicle.
He is a good driver and knows his way around Wellington. Apart from the odd one way street.
Firstly we went to where Shelly Bay Air Force Base was. Hard to remember where things were now days. We had morning tea at the Chocolate Fish Cafe. Great place and enjoyed watching the young children ride around a small track on various scooters and bikes.
We then went and saw the Massey Memorial. Five minutes walk up a pretty step hill. I was surprised how big it was. Sorry the pics don't seem to have turned out.
We then drove around the coast to loads of lovely bays and ended up doing a full circle. It was a very good look at the bays and as always some of the places would have tremendous views.
We went and saw the wind generator. It was erected in 1993. Pretty interesting from then to now to see how much technology has changed and improved since then and becoming the norm. Not easy to erect in Wellington winds on such a steep part of Wellington.
Saw two ferries come and go, and it reminds me of how my time in the North will be here before I know it.Leggi altro
