Day 396, Year 1: Rainy, Rainy Day in New Zealand
Date: Saturday, November 18, 2006
Weather: Rainy and Windy
Location: Opua, New Zealand
One thing is for sure. The weather here has been consistent since our arrival. Today it rained all day and wind howled. We tuned into the local marine forecasts and there were gale warnings for many locations today. But the forecast is for one more day of partially cloudy weather and then three days that they describe as “fine”. We will certainly be looking forward to exploring the area in sunshine.
I am still not on the uphill side of this cold, so I have spent the day reading and relaxing. I really am looking forward to feeling better and having some decent weather so we can start exploring the area. Actually at this very moment, it looks like clouds have decided to go away and the sun has decided to shine. In the last few minutes the sky has gone from totally overcast to blue. Amazing. Maybe the good weather will come one day sooner than expected. That will certainly be a welcome change.
