Cont....Arriving at Wellington

So just over three hours on the boat and we drive into Wellington and straight to Ginas new place. A lovely wee house and big enough to accomodate the 5 adults and 7 children that are now there (Brod and Anton were already there).
The cousins were so excited to see each other and ran off to play like we pop round for coffee on a regular basis.
The next day (Friday) Jase drove over to the Wairarapa to help Peter with the horses. Brod, Anton, Gina and I took the kids to Wellington Zoo. We met Francey and wee Cael there too. (*waves to Francey*) It was a lovely day and the kids really enjoyed it.

The kids on the Hippo at Wellington Zoo. Apparently it is not possible to get them all in the same place at the same time to get a photo!

Gina turned around and her paring knife slipped out of the lunch bag and dropped into the otter pool. The otters found this new toy very interesting and took it for a play. One of the Zoo staff came and got it out with a long grabber stick before they damaged themselves. A little bit of excitement for the day! You can just see the red of the knife handle under the right otters foot.

We stopped for a play in the park next to the zoo. There were some big kids playing too!!!
