altitude sickness

To ensure the complete Wellington experience  we have accommodation close to the top of the hill above the Brooklyn shops, there is a car park on a flat dug into the hill bellow and a four layer switchback of stairs to walk up to the house. Bill and I are getting plenty of exercise carting sailing stuff up and down to the car.

Looking down to check on Ruby
Parking in Wellington is not a pleasant experience Chaffers mariner is off oriental parade, car parking is $4 an hour if you can find a park. We did 3 laps in Ruby before successfully locating an empty one.

Lunch at the Tug boat wasn't as good as I remembered but is still better than OK on leaving we did discover they had free parks outside for patrons and the maximum 2 hour parks by the pools were only $1.50/hr. Doesn't really help when your in town all day.

Today is the walking bus brewery tour (Pub crawl) not quite sure how we are going to get in to town and back yet but will report back on adventures and beer quality tomorrow.
