Arriving in Wellington, we headed to our favourite spot at Plimmerton at the NZMCA park.

The weather forecast for the next few days was awful with torrential rain forecast so we were in for an early start in the morning to drive into Wellington for the 8am Bluebridge sailing.

We were first in line arriving at 0630, half an hour before check in. Not long after we checked in, we were joined by some of the 60 odd Minis doing the Kidscan Charity run from Kaitaia to Invercargill over 6 days. Most were dressed up for the occasion with long hair and bright clothing.. a lot of fun.

This is the 6th running of this event in homage to the Kiwi Classic movie, Goodbye Pork Pie.

Once we were on the ferry, they were marshalled in behind us and it looked like it would have been a fun trip.

Driving through Kaikoura, we also saw some passing us and stopped in various places along the way.
