Our NZ Adventure - Day 2: Monday May 23

It's 8:07am and I am up. I was woken by Richard’s snoring and for the first time ever it wasn't so bad. Because you see our room has an incredible view and this morning I discovered that we can lie in bed and watch the sun rise over Wellington. Got a great deal on a room at the Amora on the ninth floor


No sign of our stuff but that is probably a good thing. Yes my friends we snuck in Maccas run. It's sad but last night after such a long day it was just what the doctor ordered.

The only real down side to our stuff missing its flight really is the missing tooth brush for you see no amount of gum is getting the onion off my breath this morning. Yuck!

Today we are wondering the streets of Wellywood* to see what the city has for us, but first to breakfast (my tummy is grumbling so must feed it). Our room has access to the executive lounge including breakfast so hope its good.

11:11am and we are back in the room after breakfast. Great food and even better coffee. Our bag has finally found us! We are both so excited to see our stuff safely here - thanks Air NZ. Quick phone charge before heading out to explore the city.

11:33pm nearly bed time. We had a lovely day wandering around the city. It's a lovely city and it's nice to just chat. We found a great little restaurant where I got soup for NZ$7 tucked around a little corner in the city.

Quiet night in. We decided yesterday that Wellington was about getting into the groove of being on holidays. Mission accomplished!

Tomorrow late check out before making our way to Napier. Good night everyone

* whilst we are here the drama around the Wellywood sign at Wellington airport was making the news everyday. I have to agree I think the sign is ridiculous, its iconic to Hollywood and you just make yourself look lame trying to copy that
