Wellington, Waikanae and Raumati

Raumati Beach
When we first arrived in Wellington, we hired a holiday home on the beach in Raumati, close to the schools and on the beach! This pic is the view down the beach, south toward Paekakeriki and Pukerua Bay.








Waikanae, our neighbours to the north are as blessed as we are with views, natural beauty and peacefulness! These photos should prove my point……....













Wellington

In all my correspondence, posts, emails and web site links, I have yet to mention Wellington. This is certainly not because it is unworthy, in fact I have drawn many comparisons between Wellington and Cape Town, People, Culture, Feel, Beauty…….

So before I am accused of not giving Wellington it’s due, check these out (and thanks to the photographer (not me….)

Oriental Bay – on the southern side of the city, City fringe is visible in the distance.


Lambton Quay – Downstairs from EDS offices, shop, shop and coffee. The landmark Old Bank Building is on the right in the foreground.

The bay from – from Kandalah – looking south, city is on the right, just out of pic

Panoramic view of the bay, harbour and city. Panoramic view of the bay, harbour and city. Notice the fountain in Oriental Bay

Sunset from the Southern bays of Wellington (Island Bay / Lyall Bay toward the South Island
Wellington has some wonderful views, sights and I must take the time to sort through my video and create some still of us all at Oriental Bay, Travis at the X-Games Festival, Cuba Mall, the Botanical Gardens and the “cable car” to the gardens and university

Hope this did not kill your browsers, but the pics should have been worth it……
