Rā 222,  Rātū 9 o Here-turi-kōkā

Hui in Wellington.  Good to get together with the team and have some interesting korero about our mahi. Even better to get out of a stuffy meeting room and get some fresh air with a blast up to the Botanics.

Rā 221  Rāhina, 8 o Here-turi-kōkā

A very frosty morning at the lake today but it was good to be able to start running in the light as the sun rose.  The sharp blue sky of Hamilton gave way to increasing cloud as I flew South. Even through the murky yellowness of the plane window Ngarahoe shone resplendent enrobed in snow. It was a bumpy old descent into Wellington but the wind roared and hissed and had blown itself and the rain away before we headed out to sample the craft beer delights of Beervana.

So today’s photos tell a story of winter weather and warming beer!

Rā 213  Rātapu, 31 o Hōnongoi 

An afternoon in Wellington. It was a beautiful day and I took some stunning photos both over and in Wellington. But today I finally went to the Gallipoli exhibition in Te Papa. Its beauty lies in the way it tells the stories of people who survived and died such a long way from home. Touching, poignant, graphic, honest, sad, courageous, human.

Day 126 May 5th 2016

So I went for a walk around the bays today. Well a bit of the way round and then over the top.  To meet a friend and it turned out to be two friends!  We had a lovely evening catching up and nearly, very nearly getting caught up in the pub quiz!  After the first rainy day in months, Wellington turned on a pretty spectacular sunset.

Star Wars day and I think this psychedelic journey is apt.

Can never resist taking photos out of plane windows!  Great light through the clouds to the sea flying into Wellington this afternoon.  Edited with Snapseed.
