Our Trip home

Seems our quick trip back to NZ disappeared into the past quicker than I thought, as after a reminder from a blog reader I realised I hadn't put an update of our trip home on here! So a bit belated but here it is!

Our flight back to Wellington went via Sydney so we got to have a quick catch up over lunch with Ollie's sister Katrina before hopping on our next flight.

Wellington was calm and dry when we arrived at midnight...gently welcoming us home! Ollie jokingly suggested we go for a quick sail on the harbour (he really misses the boat!) as it was by this stage 1am we decided to head to our beds after a quick look at the boat....unfortunately we should have taken that opportunity as the next couple of days were typical winter Wellington weather - wet and windy!

Our first day there was spent with Ollie's sister Yolene and her family - getting to know the new nephew, and playing with our niece Sylvia at Te Papa.

We of course had to have a brunch or 3 at one of our favourite cafes, Chocolate Days in Days Bay.

We took a day trip up to Napier to visit my friend Mel, and meet her new baby. On the way back we cam across snow as we were driving over the Rimutakas - was a bit of a novelty!

The rest of the days flew by, catching up with friends, visiting other new babies, dinner with family, lunches and coffees with friends, and hanging out with Yolene and the kids some more.

Our friends Fiona & Bill came down from Auckland for a couple of days, and we had fun catching up with them.

8 days home was gone before we knew it and next we were having brunch with Ollie's sister Yolene and her family before heading off to the airport and back to Launceston.

We're all back into School and Work as normal (and counting down a little til we go home again!)
