A Visit to Wellington, New Zealand's Capital City

Tweet

Many of you know how much I enjoy visiting Wellington, New Zealand’s capital city, which is about a two hour drive from my home. I’ve just returned from several days down there, the first time I’ve visited the city in several months. I had two reasons for making the trip. The first was to go to the pantomime, Puss in Boots, at Circa Theatre. I always enjoy the performances there and once again enjoyed this latest opportunity. Summer has started here and I confess I went to the 4 pm matinee reluctantly on such an outstanding day. My walk to the theatre from my hotel took me along the waterfront. The sun shone, and the waterfront was vibrantly alive with music, people, pop-up stalls and those out enjoying such a wonderful afternoon. My second reason was to gather material for my next book. I spent the next two days walking the streets of the CBD, drinking coffee, researching for my latest writing project and writing. Now I have six weeks to process all I did and work it into my latest book, plus enjoy the summer ahead. I’ll be back in my favourite city at the end of January.
