Thursday we decided to mostly stay home except for a trip to the supermarket, Pack 'n Save, to stock up on a few groceries. There aren't very many supermarkets in evidence - this is the only one we know about between our house and downtown. We found everything we needed and then some. They had a very nice wine selection, although we weren't familiar with most of the wines for sale. We went home and grilled lamb chops again.
Friday we went back to the Te Papa Museum to see what we had missed the first day and it was a lot including a special exhibit about ancient Egypt centering on mummies and included a real mummy found of a young woman. We split an order of fish and chips at the restaurant and then spent about 4 hours in the museum.
At home, I booked tickets for a cruise to the South Island on the Interisland Ferry. We'll leave the dock in Wellington at 8:30 a.m. on Monday and return at 9:00 p.m. The cruise to Picton is 3 hrs each way so we'll have about 6 hrs to sightsee in the Picton area. It is supposed to be the most beautiful ferry crossing in the world. We're hoping our wonderful weather will continue.
