Summary:
Traveling south from Turangi to Wellington - took about 5 hours with a stop for lunch. Yeah! HM has finally learnt to solve the Rubik's Cube. We stayed with CK's uncle and family up on the slopes of Lower Hutt, overlooking the Hutt River. After catching up, we went for a drive into the city and had our first Chinese meal since we left Melbourne. We then drove up Mt Victoria to admire the view and lights of Wellington - it was very cold and windy. Brrrrr........
Highlight:
MK: Showing mum and dad how to do the Rubik's cube.
MJ: Relaxing day.
MH: Having a relaxing day.
