After our previously mentioned lie in we roused ourselved and drove into town to meet the A Cappellas and Inspiration Ladies. We chatted in a small cafe for an hour or so before Ed and Cornelia had to leave for the ferry. We wandered the high street with Jackie and Gary before finalizing our plans for the evening and parting ways.<\/p>\n

Helen and I picked up a small lunch before driving a short way south of town to a walk which offered good views of the town from a hill overlooking the area.<\/p>\n

From the look out we carried on getting down to the main road east of town. Once we’d made our way back to the car we headed back to our room to read for the afternoon.<\/p>\n

At 6pm Gary and Jackie joined us on the balcony of our room. We’d agreed on an takeaway and made our choices from the menu we’d collected earlier. Gary and I went to collect the food leaving Helen and Jackie to sort out where to eat. When we returned we found they’d set up down below in the garden which was a great idea.<\/p>\n

Another Canadian couple ended up joining us and we had a good time – it almost felt like times back on the boat.<\/p>\n

We don’t have a great deal to do today before our 1:10pm ferry so there will be no rush to leave our room. We’re thinking of staying in the Wellington area tonight to give us a chance to see the city but this is still not set in stone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
