Has anyone lost an avocado?

Slightly delayed start today - Isabel assured me she was awake at 0630 and just closed her eyes for 10 min and then it was 0800. I think we must have done something wrong and they decided to leave us out in the cold and wet in our tent (not really but it did rain last night and I have had to wear jeans and jumper today so I would like a refund on my weather please as tan is fading rapidly)

Anyway, left to find craft shop in Petone which was ok but not great then dropped bags at Isabel and Barries hotel before returning car.

Wandered along Lambton Quay found somewhere for lunch and then headed up in cable car. Not great views due to cloud being down so went in cable car museum. Very interesting. Houses here have private cable cars as their only access. Mad but cool. Said I wanted one. Isabel said I could have one in our house - a stairlift. Not quite the same somehow.

Walked down through botanic garden back to city centre and parliament buildings. Back along Lambton Quay, dinner and then farewell to Isabel and Barrie who are off south on their tour tomorrow. We have another two days in Wellington before our crossing of the Cook Strait.

Off we popped on the bus back to the campsite only to get 10 mins in and have an avocado roll between Kays feet. We looked puzzledly at each other for a moment befre Martyn picked it up and in his best British accent uttered the immortal phrase 'ummmmmmmm, has anyone lost an avocado?' Judging from their expressions this is not an everyday encounter for the Kiwis on the bus but the man behind us was very pleased to get his avocado back!

Back in bed in campervan now. We've named him Vinny (the van) not sure why but I read somewhere you need to develop a relationship with and consequently name your camper. We agreed on Vinny tonight which is good as I was getting worried about returning a nameless van!
