Today was Sunday, and we had a leisurely start to the day, lounging around Jamie and Kerry’s before heading to one of Jamie’s favourite lunch spots, the Maranui Café at Lyall Bay. It was another absolutely beautiful day and as we waited in the short queue (it’s a popular place!) we could see lots of adults’ and children’s boat races going on, it was nice to see so many people out enjoying themselves on a Sunday morning. We got a table outside on the deck overlooking the sandy bay and had a delicious brunch. We were quite near the airport again so James and Jamie had a fine time identifying the planes, and we all had a nice chat. Then we went to Wellington Harbour, which I had observed from the deck of the ship yesterday. It was bustling with lots of people out for a Sunday walk; there were stalls selling food and drink and lots to look at. The City to Sea bridge is part bridge and part artwork and is very striking, with lots of carvings and places to look through. It was such a fun walk but annoyingly my cold has progressed to much coughing and spluttering; hopefully it will pass quickly. Jamie and I went out for groceries to Moore Wilsons, a very nice wee supermarket reminiscent of a Waitrose. We got cheese and bread, new potatoes and pickles, and Kerry and I made a fondue for dinner which was delicious.
