We went for a long weekend in Wellington in 2009 and stayed at the beautiful museum hotel overlooking Te Papa museum (and skate-park of course). On the last day of our trip I took Carmel for a surprise drive... to a private airfield. When we arrived and Carmel saw the size (or lack of size) of the planes a few tears dropped from her eyes and she quietly said to me "are we going to do a flying lesson...I'm scared". A great start.
I assured her everything would be okay and we weren't going to be flying any planes. Instead we boarded a tiny four seater with red velvet interior and went for a romantic (and terrifying) flight over the beautiful Marlborough Sounds where the question was 'popped'. The answer was yes (duh!) and we flew back to Wellington for an amazing twin massage at a health spa before we flew back to Auckland.
Now you know!
