Interislander Ferry

I was sitting in the back of a plane earlier today and got this picture of an Interislander ferry coming in to Wellington.

RNZN visits Wellington

As part of the scenic tour, the Navy had an open day on two of the inshore patrol vessels [HMNZS Pukaki and HMNZS Taupo] and a roll on, roll off transport [HMNZS Canterbury].

Finding out that we knew one of the HMNZS Taupo crew, we headed off and had a look around [thanks Nick!]. We didn't gte on to the HMNZS Canterbury.

Here are the photos, top to bottom:

Aussie visitor and Wellington sightseeing

Yesterday I got to pick up up an aussie visitor off a flight, and today we went sightseeing. This included Eastbourne; a place I had not visited despite being in Wellington for over 4.5 years now. As you can see, the weather improved a lot during the day!

Pictures are:
