Returning to Wellington

We woke up and unfortunately it was pretty drizzly. We went to the little cafe across from the Pancake Rocks walkway, had some breakfast and bought some cute t-shirts. It cleared up a bit and we went to see the Pancake Rocks and Blow Holes. They are really incredible, and since we got there around 9:30, high tide, we saw some water blowing up out of a couple of the blow holes. It is pretty cool the way the water shoots up. Then it started to rain and it was less cool, so we headed for the car. We drove up the coast, heading for the Westport airport. As we got close, we (or rather, I, as Amy was a bit nervous about time) decided to go to Cape Foulwind to see the fur seals. It was rather blustery there, but we saw them sweetly lying along the rocks. Amy took her requisite photo, and we ran back to the car to get out of the wet, windy weather and get to the airport.
So, we followed the signs to the airport, and then found ourselves at a dead end with a little house-type building in front of us - we looked at each other and wondered if this could be the right place. We got out of the car and walked into the little building, and to our amazement it really was the airport! It was hysterical - it truly looked like a barn or something, with the word Westport written on the roof - nothing about airport. Nevertheless, our 24 seater plane came in and we flew safely off to Wellington.
After a bit of a rigamaroll with finding Tony at the Wellington airport (don't ask - needless to say, it was his fault, but we won't go into that), we went back to our house here in Wellington. Amy and I went back into the city then for a little while, then came back to see the kids, and we all went out for dinner at our local pizza joint, Red Tomatoes. It was fun.
