We arrived yesterday (a bit sleepy) in Wellington and are now staying with our friends Lucy, Barb and Art. It is a strange feeling to leave one place late Thursday evening and arrive on Saturday morning. (Actually, we had 2 hours of Friday as our flight didn't officially leave until 01:50 am Friday morning).
We had a bit of a cold blast waiting for us, a shock to our spoiled systems, but had a very nice afternoon and dinner celebrating several bits of good news for the family Howe/Protin. And we slept (deliciously). I (Jim) have a cold coming on that I am grateful was staved off for the cruise (no dives for me otherwise), but hopefully a couple days taking it easy will do the trick.
Wellington is a very nice city, reminds us somewhat of Vancouver and SF. It was ranked as the coolest small capital in the world by the 2010 Lonely Planet guide (a fact the city is quite "chuffed" about). Barb, Art and Lucy live in the diplomatic area, so we walk by the US and Cuban embassies on our way to/from the bus stop. Public transportation is very good here.
