Awoke to clear skies and sunshine. Gave the town of Wanganui a second chance and were thoroughly impressed with their museum and the Sargant Art Gallery. We ate delicious pasties outside a café whose owner had emigrated from Ireland and was able to afford a farmstead as well as the Celtic pasty shop, before making the long drive to Wellington. The west coastal area here is flat with dramatic seas rolling onto long wide beaches. We took a walk on Foxton beach, collected shells and made footprints in the sand. Booked into a campsite at Lower Hutt, around the bay from Wellington city, as the sun set. Drove back around the bay and treated ourselves to Asian posh nosh at ‘Chow’. Yum! Ahhh but chopsticks here require great skill – wery swippery.
