Guy Fawkes night in the capital. Over 100,000 around the harbour watching the fireworks to commemorate the English tradition of Guy Fawkes - a chap who got caught with 36 barrels of gunpowder intended to blow up the King of England

Don't see much of Guy Fawkes these day - times used to be that there was an effigy of Guy Fawkes placed on a bonfire to commemorate the occassion and people would let off fireworks.

These days its just the fireworks....

Chillin on a Sunday, Wellington

12.30pm

Been to the market and gym. Had lunch, did my ironing and washing, cooked dinner all while chillin out listening to the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Took some photos while walking the wharf. Civic Square and the art gallery looks like something from Dr Seus. The floating ball in the square looked good and there's a collection of cars in the museum courtyard.

All Blacks played the Wallabies, and won. Reading NZ News online and the only thing that really caught my interest was the "Lost World" article about descending into a huge cave in the Waitomo Valley. Maybe someday soon I'll do that....
