Wellington for the Weekend
I'm back in Wellington for the weekend. I mentioned before I was looking at taking the Overlander to get back from Auckland.
The Overlander is a train that goes from Auckland to Wellington daily along a very scenic route. The service was nearly removed due to lack of customers and it not being cost effective as a result. That doesn't seem to be a problem now though, I tried to book and they were full for the next week or so. I ended up flying down putting some of my air points (or air dollars as they are now called) to good use.
I bumped into a couple of people I worked for at State Insurance about 17 years ago on the plane. It was quite strange seeing them after all those years. It was good to find out what's been happening with them and amazing that we recognised each other and remembered names.
I'm looking forward to a weekend of catching up with friends and family, and then head back to Auckland on Monday morning.
Why have I moved to Auckland? Find out in an upcoming blog post before the weekends over - No fair those that know spoiling the fun :-)
