Wellington continued...

Our second full day in Wellington was strange, because it was supposed to be spent sightseeing the city again while the Camper was steam cleaned for us .... Unfortunately the guys at Maui, Wellington didn't get the message that we required the full overhaul and therefore were not able to do it for us .... Mummy was not a happy bunny! .... They did manage a change of linen for us and an extra duvet though - big deal. Anyway, since we had the van all day we decided to drive around the bay and look for a nice beach for a picnic. We had the best surprise ever as the scenery and the homes perched on the hillside and dotted all over the place were stunning! To think we could have completely missed out on seeing this..... We found a sweet little spot, in Scorching Bay, quite rocky with a small shore. I made some sandwiches and Bea and Hugo played amongst the rocks building dams. It was pure heaven. We later drove on behind the bay and towards the Ocean which is Cooks Strait and then back round and through the city. Photos will not do it justice, but here are a few....
