Off for the day in Wellington in the car in the rain – threatened thunderstorms starting down South and moving up the North Island later in the day. Lucky I’d put covers on the bikes last night then….

We visited the NZ Immigration office first, they confirmed I’d need a job offer before I can get a work permit – good try anyway. I thought I’d found a way to get a part-time work permit, but there ya go…. maybe I’ll put it in anyway if it comes to it. Depends on how much it costs really.

Wellington Motorcycles next to check if Joe had found my second key. He’d checked with the previous owner, but no key. He did, however, have the owners handbook – so not a total loss. Louise was checking out the helmets and textile gear. We did also ask about her odometer trip reset knob (it’s missing), but we needed the VIN and to confirm how it attaches.

We had a choice of seeing Avatar 3D or going to Te Papa to see the Pompeii exhibition. The exhibition is on until April, so peering into the darkness with 3D glasses on won out! We thought it was a brilliant film in 2D, its even better in 3D!!
