Travelling

Hmmm… I don’t seem to be doing so well on my blogging resolutions so far this year.  But!  I have an excellent excuse.  I have just spent 13 days in New Zealand – primarily a genealogical excursion – and have been too busy, and too far from a wifi connection, to  post.  I have met some wonderful relatives and visited places with family connections.  And, of course, discovered more treasures stashed away at my parents’ house!

Postcard from… Wellington, New Zealand

City and Harbour, Wellington NZ

City and Harbour, Wellington NZ 4073

This postcard is one of many in an album that belonged to my paternal grandparents. I’m not sure of the date of this, perhaps 1950s or 60s? Hopefully I’ll be able to find out a bit more when I talk to my father, who has the album now.

We arrived in Auckland yesterday, after 26 hours in the air.  Despite travelling with three young kids, it didn’t seem to take long at all.  Can’t imagine spending three months in a boat (unless it was a fancy cruise ship).

Today we have a short one hour flight to Wellington – will be fantastic to see my home town again!
