Welcome to Wellington!

Island Bay

We arrived in Wellington on a beautifully sunny Friday morning. Suzi and Norman and their daughters Manu (6) and Roma (3) very graciously offered to put us up for a few days at their house in Island Bay until we found a more permanent place to live. Island Bay is a suburb of Wellington, directly south of the city center. It is so named for the island in the bay (who would have guessed?) and there's a view of the South Island from the beach on a clear day.

The weather seems to be very fickle. After a lovely day on Friday, it was raining sideways in 40 to 60 mph winds on Saturday. Sunday was beautiful, but the wind started to pick up again on Monday and now (Tuesday night) it is raining sideways again. This will take some getting used to. I haven't taken many photos since the weather has been so bad but I've posted the few I have. Hopefully in the next week or so I can take some more.
