Down to Wellington

Wednesday 22nd January.

It's stopped raining...yeh! Not bright sunshine, but it's not raining. We left quite early and Rod wanted to visit the Ohakea Airforce Museum. They were very nice when we got there, but told us the museum had move to the South Island 10 years ago. Ho hum, think the Hema map people need to update their maps.

We are heading for Wellington today to catch the ferry first thing tomorrow morning. We travelled through such exciting places as Foxton, Levin and Otaki – not much to look at, but at least got some pillows at Levin.

Can't say the scenery is much to look at down here, from Otaki we hit the coast road and our stop for the night quite early, didn't take us as long to get here than we thought. So the Capital Motor Inn might be the nearest stop to the ferry, but a little underwhelmed. We are basically parked up in car park at the back of the motel for the night with a lorry next to us. It is blowing up a hooley out there – I now know why Wellington is called the windy city. I wonder what the ride over to South Island will be like tomorrow. I think I have got some sickness pills with me.

Oh it's started raining again! Another night in me thinks, but will be cooking a seafood chowder with a nice bottle of white wine, following by the Westbrook Cinema in the back of the van.

Speaks tomorrow.
