LEAF NZ Tour Diary --- Day 15 (Wellington to HOME)
Another day to catch up on things around Wellington. I get up just before 9.00am, miss breakfast. Buy chocolate breakfast and Dominion Post at a service station before meeting Glîrien and Vanya at the Massey Uni Viggo exhibit. Samantha is on the front page of the paper!
Enjoy exhibition very much.
We meander down to the cable car on Lambton Quay via a café and Dymocks (expensive mistake!). Bump into Jason Secto (Orophin from FoTR and general elf extra) at Dymocks and introduce him to Vanya and Glîrien. Kinda cool! - I’ve met him once before.
Ride the cable car to the top and look around the observatory shop and botanical gardens. Walk down through the gardens to the Railway Station where we catch the yellow bus to Te Papa so Jennifer can get possum fur inserts for her boots. Late lunch at Subway on Courtenay Place. I pay our parking ticket and buy a Premiere shirt at the Post Shop.
Now it’s time to get back to the guest house for repacking and relaxing before we have to get to the airport. We have about an hour where we are all just lounging around in the TV room. Feels strange saying goodbye to everyone at the airport, just as it was strange meeting them for the first time. My flight to Hamilton is the first to leave.
Almost miss saying goodbye to Darth-Mor as she’s gone AWOL when they call my plane. Ah, but she makes it back in time! Hee hee!
Goodbye everyone, thanks for the memories!
