February 12th 2016
Looking forward to my first coffee in a
quiet seaside cafe, like at Scorching Bay. There are so many lovely
cafes in Wellington, it's still hard to choose. Cuba Street for the
vibe, the Penthouse Theatre on Ohiro Rd, where you can have a latte
and croissant while watching an opera on film. That's just crazy
nice. The tea house in the Botanical Gardens, or the one at the Zoo.
Hard to choose a favourite.
Looking forward to walking from Mt Cook
downtown to the Te Papa Museum area. The dockside filled with
wonderful sculptures. It will still be summer there at this time of
year. I've been in the Fall and the Winter. Different each season.
All this going on in my head while I
sit at my computer, watching the weather outside. It is extremely
cold today, minus 12 at least. At least I will be getting away from
this cold, though we have been spoiled this year.
My trip will include a visit to Christchurch and environs, with a hope to go on the Gondola to overlook an extraordinary landscape. A visit to Auckland in the last five days will include the train ride from Wellington, the Northern Explorer with the Raurimu Spiral, making it a great ride to be experienced. Did it once already, ready for a second go!
