29 September – Still…
This morning in Wellington, we got up, ate breakfast, loaded our carefully packed bags onto the bus and went for a harbor tour. Must have been time for sailing lessons across from the hotel.
Hamish Campbell took full advantage of it being our last day to cram in more information about New Zealand, earthquakes, geology, faults and such.
Saw many boats, much greywacke ( greywacky) of all levels of degradation, lots of water, the memorial to the Wahine ferry victims who died in 1968, A bronze shark sculpture that prompted Albert to call for the final group photo.
Picnic lunch and shell hunt. Off to the airport by 1pm for flight to Auckland. Last view of Wellington homes, modest, magnificent, wild, whimsical and well-placed; Premium land prices and judicious use of space.
Almost didn't see the magical lighting in the airport open space.
Snacks in the airport and more wearable art before flight to L.A. Landed in L.A.( I would say terra firma but I was born in California) 7 hours earlier than we took off, then, still 3 hours earlier than we left Auckland, we will board yet another flight to COS. I would think this day will never end but I know eventually I will catch up to myself… as long as it isn’t me coming at myself from the opposite direction in the terminal…
