Passing through the zones

Tonight I'm writing from Wainui, again. This time thou we've packed up all our belongings and the people from the moving/storage place have taken them all away. Rather than just pack up and go we'll stay here a night then catch the plane, Wellington to Auckland then San Francisco, Alberquerque. We stop there for the night, which will still be Wednesday. We collect a car, a tank according to Richard and drive to Santa Fe.

Driving around the bays today Liam and I were talking about the trip we got to the part where we leave Wellington at 4.30pm on Wednesday and arrive in Alberquerque at 9pm Wednesday night, but we travel for more than 5 hours. The resulting discussion about time zones had him a little confused I think. He was on his way to Te Papa with his Aunt so I passed on the task of explaining time zones with the hope the good people at the museum would have a graphic illistration. It hasn't happened often, but they didn't find a useful tool there. So now I'm listening to Grandma and Liam with a touch in a dark room and a globe. Not sure how this will go but Liam really likes the new torch from Aunty Mere.
