We made it to my sisters and again nice to have a home to lay our heads for the next few days. Wellington promises to be a treat in the cafe department as the unofficial home of espresso. We got Ruby up in the middle of the night to watch the fireworks from the balcony and have a midnight feast. She woke well and waited...and waited.... and the fireworks did not appear. We were able to catch Aucklands effort on the tele. But according to Ruby we were in the wrong place for New Years.
A new day, new year begins and we all hope for less stress than the year that has gone by. It starts well with vegetable juice. Not through resolution but through having the opportunity to pick up the juicer in Auckland, the new health mission begins. Most of the cafes are closed today and so we decide to spend a cruisy day reaquainting and being together. Te Papa is just down the road and as we walk we are drawn in through the door. We get inspiration from the Brian Brake exhibition and Ruby has a blast dressing up and playing in the kids area.
As we leave and hit Cuba Mall the bookshop gets a beating from Rubys gift card and we spend ages just sitting and watching the interesting world bo by the water sculpture.
Home for a rest and planning mission. The first day of the year is done.
