Arrival at Wellington

We arrived in Wellington at approximately 7.00pm and was welcomed by Matua-Kore Manuel, the caretaker of the marae. We stayed nice and close to the city centre - not close enough to walk but it did not take long to get to most of the places we were going to. Everyone was tired and hungry too so after making our beds and diary time some of us went out to get dinner. A long day of travelling and excitement about the next day's events resulted in a late night for some.
