that Christmas in NZ was a little unusual!
The days are long, so there was no creeping around in the dark to open
our (duty-free) gifts under our six inch tree :) Make-up and perfume
for Sophie, smelly and LIttle Big Planet for me. Thanks Santa!
We are about as far from home as is possible and on Christmas day in
particular, the world seems a big place. But a quick call home reminds
us how small the world has become.
Christmas lunch was familiar, pork and lamb rather than turkey. Mike,
a chef by trade, made light work of cooking for 9 people. But with the
warm sunhine, it was easy to forget that it was Christmas day.
Boxing day was our warmest day in NZ. So off to the beach for a swim!
Body surfing in the sea followed by ice creams on the beach then off
in the car for some last day sightseeing.
Wellington really has so much to see. Beautiful wooden houses next to
modern business towers. All nestling in valleys rolling down to the
sea. I could write more but we have a plane to catch.
Huge thanks to Lizzie and Mike who have done an excellent job of
showing us as much as possible in our short time here.
Next stop Sydney!
