Wellington Gales

I watched the severe weather warnings from Wellington NZ with some trepidation earlier this week as I was due to fly across the Tasman on Wednesday. Gale force winds were predicted. 

The cold front crossed Wellington on Tuesday night with such strong winds that shipping containers were blown into the harbour. 

Wellington - beautiful again the day after the gale

There was still a brisk wind on Wednesday but the biggest bump our flight experienced was a tire blowing out as we touched down. We had to be towed to the terminal but no one minded the delay at all.
