Thursday, April 13 sad day – spouses gone
Well they left today – Erin went for a run before leaving. We picked up a lunch in the Wellington Airport and watched the surf pick up in Lyall Bay. After Erin and Christrian left Rashmi Carrie and I tried to walk to Lyall Bay to watch the waves, but realized that the bus was the only way to get there.
We didn’t have a camara, but the surf was the biggest that I have seen since we have been here. About 2.5 to 3 feet. I couldnt’ resist and decided to jump in without a wetsuit – very cold! I was able to stay in for about 45 min, but it was just to cold to wait for the waves. Not having been in the ocean for so long – I was only able to catch one wave. It will be fun to rent the foamy and wetsuit at least once while I’m here.
The rest of the day was pretty sedate – we made a quick run to the grocery store and then ate at a great restruant in Hataitai that serves wraps that kick Chipolte’s ass! I had the combo that was loaded with veggies and well seasoned meat.
We turned in early to rest up for the LOTR exhibit the next day.
