One more sleep, until I’ll be winging my way across the Pacific Ocean to Aotearoa, aka New Zealand … where I’ll definitely be seeing this view again …
Auckland (Waitemata) Harbour from near the Harbour Bridge
Perhaps not this one this time around, but maybe there’ll be chance in Wellington …
Maori greeting, Rotorua (Whakarewarewa thermal park)
But most definitely this one, if he’s still there at Wellington Airport …
Gollum at Wellington Airport
This time round I’m only staying for 6 nights, and Mum and I are having a one-night stay away in Wellington just to go to Te Papa Museum. We were only going to go down or the day, but the flights home are shocking (and unfortunately on staff travel we have to travel on stand-by … no seats, no travel …) so we figure we’ll probably end up staying overnight anyway.
Not sure whether I’ll get online while I’m away, as I’m not taking the laptop this time.
I still haven’t packed properly yet, and we’re off to see Tim Minchin live tonight, so I’d better get my A into G!! Looking forward to seeing him perform live, as I think he’s absolutely hilarious – a very talented, if very quirky, comedian! 😀
Have a lovely week everyone – see you in less than 24 hours, Dragon!! 😀
Feather Stitching 
After having several planes from Auckland turn around because the winds were too bad to land at Wellington airport, when I had to go to Wellington, I started taking the train. There used to be a sleeper train that left Auckland at 8 pm and got into Wellington at 8 am. And another train that left Wellington at 8 pm and got into Auckland at 8 am. I even loved sleeping on those trains. Have a great vacation and drink some L&P for me.
Have a GREAT time!!!!
Very cool, and Tim Minchin – oh I am SO jealous…
Anne, I have not been around for the past few weeks. Reading that you are going away, how fantastic. Hope to see lots of photos. Have a great time. Kathy from the Blig Blog
Have a wonderful time.
OMG, I just about busted a gut when I saw the Gollum picture. Have a wonderful time in New Zealand!
Hope you have a wonderful time in New Zealand. The harbor looks beautiful and loved Gollum at the airport. 🙂
Your Lavendar bag from VS is beautiful! Cute little stocking you stitched as well.
