Monday - Wellington
Wellington is a small easily walkable city with a lovely old Harrods-like department store (much, much smaller though) called Kirkcaldie & Stains (see above). The city has a cable car which runs right up the hill to the University (see view below) and the Botanic Garden which has a rose garden and the most magnificent begonias I have ever seen.
Big begonias:
Tuesday - Dinners
We are having super dinners every night; I have eaten more oysters in the past four days than I have in my entire life. Last night we had dinner with a former Prime Minister of NZ -a charming chap who loves Obama.
Wednesday #1 - Auckland
A brief lunch stop here between Wellington and Samoa. Our friends have a lovely old house with a terrific view of the Auckland Tower and it’s nice to see this part of Auckland again and to catch up with F&L once again.
