Settling in Jan 14 to 18

Starting to feel a bit more human now and we even managed to climb a mountain yesterday - 1000ft sheer climb up the back of Sineads house, with incredible views which when we caught our puff we were able to enjoy! Nor, Myself Rick and Sinead did it - poor Nan was still feeling off so needed a rest. Amazing journey really and well worth the climb for the views across Wellington Harbour and right down into the Cook Strait and across to the South Island where we are going next week. This evening we took the ferry across to the city and had a beautiful meal thanks to Matts Uncle Peter and his family. We had drinks in a bar beforehand which we entered via a wardrobe - great craic. More tomorrow. Love to all
