Dan
Our friend Dan was in Wellington! Dan grew up in Wellington, but he has seen more of our planet than anyone we know. Currently, he lives in Canberra, Australia, but we first met him in the Netherlands where he lived for several years while he was researching Antarctica’s geological history. Usually in summer (dutch winter) he’d travel to Antarctica to do field research and came back with the most wonderful stories and photos. He also told us a lot about New Zealand (and we kept on asking about it). He always said that we would really love NZ, that we were just the kind of people that would like it there…
That was about five years ago, and here we are, in Dan’s home town, having dinner with his sister Kate, having fun with his family on Paekakariki Beach, enjoying the beautiful city and the immense natural playground that surrounds it, and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it.
One of the first things he said when we met him here in Wellington about a week ago was “told you so”… Pictures.
