A quick post.

It was incredibly windy today living up to the name of Windy Wellington.

This morning we took a tour to the "storm coast". The bus went right by the house where I grew up so June and I had our faces pressed to the window to catch a glance of the old "homestead".

It was a longer bus ride than I had remembered but at the end we were at Pencarrow Lodge where we had a wonderful cup of tea and goodies. The wind was blowing so hard it was almost impossible to hear the sheep farmer as he told the story of the land and lodge and had the dogs do a demonstration.

When we got back the BEST lunch awaited us - boneless leg of lamb and for me cooked to perfection. I over indulged as you would expect.

Everyone else went back into the city on the shuttle bus. I had full intentions of going but all that lamb I ate and the blowing wind made me decide to stay in. My doorbell rang and there was Linda with some New Zealand cherries for me. They were so sweet and vanished in a very short time. Do I really have Prime 7 reservations tonight!!

Before dinner a Maori concert party is coming on board. Set to take place on the deck but I hope they move it to the lounge it is so windy.

We all are having a great time and I have yet to meet some of the people that I do not know. That will happen at the B&K cocktail party tomorrow night so looking forward to that.

Sandra Bowen in on the ship and we will have the pleasure of her company tomorrow night. So looking forward to that.

Okay Trivia calls I hope the group gets back in time probably wont do too well all by myself.
