Le dernier jour/Last day

Tonight we head north to Los Angeles then London.  It is a one stop trip and a little after 26 hours of leaving New Zealand we will be in London. 

Due to an inherent fascination with weather, I looked up the weather forecast for both London and Zurich.  It is going to be cold in both - it is predicted to be about 10 degrees in London and 6-8 degrees in Zurich.  That is New Zealand's winter temperatures.  In many ways we are having to take both winter and summer clothes.  A bit of a packing dilemma given the bag is quite small and we need to take our cycling gear as well. 

As is usual I had a lousy sleep last night; nervous anticipation would be the best term to describe it.  Hopefully this will aid sleeping tonight. 

Today is finishing the packing, making sure that I have enough money, and going to the gym as we are not going to be doing much exercise for the following 36 hours. 

Today in Wellington it is beautiful - warm, sunny and calm.  On days like this I would quite happily remain in Wellington.  However, adventure is fun and we are going places that we have not been to before. It was tempting to go for a bike ride but I think I will give that a rest today.  Yesterday I did manage about 32 kilometres and if you know Wellington's topography that is always real exercise. 

The next post will be from London - mostly a comment on the flight.
