Day 15. Welly welly Wellington. Or more accurately, windy Wellington.
The city sign says it for sure.
They have a zephometer - a needle that shows the wind direction. They had to replace it and move it farther from the traffic when then wind blew it over and hit trucks going by. Now that's windy!
First stop on the Windy City tour, the Wellington botanical gardens.
Next stop, was a thrill. The Roxy theater and meet Jamie Selkirk! Academy award winner for his film editing for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. We were treated to a scone, coffee, a talk by Jamie and a film about Weta Workshop and studios. Very cool!
Then up the hill to Mount Victoria for fabulous views of this fair city.
The afternoon was a mini craft beer tour. Josh expertly guided us from one yummy beer to another. When down at the wharf, we saw another celebrity, Peter Arnett, CNN journalist for the Vietnam and gulf wars. Most known for his interview with Obama bin Laden. One just never knows who you might see out and about. Another couple of this travel group saw The king of Jordan. He did not wave back.... not sure why...
Group dinner tonight and our farewell dinner tomorrow. One more entry in this blog, keep reading!
