The ferry to the north island may have taken a few hours but as always the view from the ferry was amazing. It isn’t exactly Millford Sound, however the view
is still far better than anything you would get back home and just acts as a reminder of all the amazing things here in New Zealand waiting around every corner.
While I am in Wellington I am staying with a friend of a friend, Lesley and her husband Brian. They don’t know me, have never even heard of me before, yet have been nice enough to welcome me into there home and even pick me up from the ferry port and bring me back to 
their house at the other side of Wellington in Lower Hutt. Their house is amazing and built into the side of a really steep hill meaning that it is on multiple levels while also having really high ceilings which just adds to the features. The best thing by far is looking out of most of the windows and looking down the hill, through the trees and down to the ocean bay. Across the bay sits Wellington which lights up at night making it a beautiful view in the darkness. This is yet another time that I wish I had a better camera with me to really capture the beauty of 
the view that I get to see day after day.
At the moment the weather hasn’t been great so I have just ended up staying in and relaxing but tomorrow I will head out to the city for the day to do a bit more exploring and see what this little capital has to offer
Are these Padd’s parents’ friends? Tell them your mother thanks them for their hospitality. Their house looks fabulous xxxx
That house is amazing! Totally loving the garage too!
