The senses went into overdrive on our recent holiday to Wellington. The main reason for our visit was to see the exhibition of surrealist art at Te Papa. The big city sounds and smells were definitely a change from our rural outlook in Takapau!
1 Surrealism at Te Papa
Great little camera trick allows you to reproduce Magritte's famous painting.

3 Flamingo Joe's
Feeling good at Flamingo Joe's after their sticky date pudding!
4 Windy Wellington
Weather was pretty good but windy on our last day.
5 Pier Review
Spied this well named boat on the Wellington waterfront (before finding ourseleves by the fishing boat Viking Bay Vigo - moored in Wellington so that the fishers with covid can go into MIQ).
Overtime: Replacement copies
I picked up a couple of replacement copies of some damaged albums at Slow Boat Records.
My English copy of the Procol Harum album had a badly defaced cover - some plonker had coloured in the faces, so this clean Aussie copy was a good find, as was the Quicksilver Messenger Service; my original had some bobbles in the vinyl which made track one on each side unplayable. Given this is my favourite album by them I was thrilled to find this 'new' copy.
