Royal Visit In Wellington

Lots of people in the building watching too

Prince Charles and Camilla are visiting New Zealand and today they were in Wellington! It was sunny so I decided to go down to the waterfront and have a look. I got there sort of early so I just sat down and had some lunch while I waited there weren't many people then. More people started to come and stewards started to put up the ropes - It just so happened they put it up right beside where I was sitting, so I was right up close to where they were going to walk.

The waterfront was really buzzing, there were so many people (so cute, so many men and women bringing their elderly parents who were excited to see the Royals), people were preforming a dance routine and there were people dressed up. One group of people were dressed fancy and had big signs saying "We love you" and "Happy Birthday Prince Charles" (It was his birthday), they also kept singing and chanting. They did keep calling Camilla "heavenly mother"though which was a little strange...  There were also loads of people watching from all the apartments and lots of children with flags and flowers.

When they arrived they had the little flag on the car and everything! the walked around watched the routine and then they came along all the people shaking hands - they came along my side! Charles chatted to the lady in front of me and joked about how everyone in New Zealand seemed to have their birthday today. I shook Camilla's hand, I didn't really mean too and I wasn't expecting too, it just happened!

 As they continued to walk along I decided to head back, as I walked down the other side of the waterfront I saw the police boat in the harbour and the tugs all decorated with flags. But there were thousands of people around there as well! I never expected so many people!

This wasn't even half of the route!

Tugs decorated in the harbour

Not too sure what these guys were up to they had a teddy bear on their sign - but they seemed to be having a good time! : )
