Around the bays and acrobats

Last Sunday was the most beautiful day - a perfect day for Around the Bays which is an annual walking and running event in Wellington. Its not a huge distance to walk, only 7km, so I took part with my friend Nilanka and thousands of other Wellingtonians. These photo's don't really convey just how many people were there.


After a wee rest at home and some lunch, Rich and I headed out to go for a walk on the waterfront. Recently there has been a sculpture garden near the art gallery, with lots of artists working on Oamaru stone. Here's a few of the art works below - I think my favourite is the cat.


After checking out the sculptures - we headed over to watch "Campground Chaos" which was a street theatre circus show. The show was based around a group of characters at a campground and had the most amazing acrobatic performances and the music was all New Zealand music.
