The weather today is a bit blustery! I've yet to go outside, but can feel the cold seeping in through the windows. Having destemmed and tanked what was harvested on Monday and Tuesday, and still waiting for a bit more ripeness in the rest of the fruit, I've been given the day off and am heading to Wellington for the weekend. My train leaves Carterton, the nearby town at 10:40. Perhaps I will get to experience Wet & Windy Wellington finally---so far all I've seen in New Zealand is blue skies and sun.
The Wairarapa is separated from Wellingon by the Rimutaka mountains. The road winds through them, but I think the train takes the more direct route of tunneling under the peaks. It is a one-hour-and-twenty-minute journey, and should be at least moderately interesting. After arriving I will have a few hours exploring Wellington while I wait for my aunt to get off work.
