winter
Only a few more weeks before it’s the shortest day here in New Zealand. On June 22, sunrise will occur at 7:47am and sunset at 4:58pm, which gives us 9 hours and 11 minutes of sunlight. In comparison, the shortest day in Holland is on December 22, when the sun rises at 8:46am and will set 4:30pm, giving 7 hours and 44 minutes of bleak sunlight, 1.5 hours less.
Another sign of winter in Wellington is the arrival of seals at Sinclair Head, a point on the south coast, west of Wellington, just around the corner from where we live - about an hour walk.
