Above the Clouds
J ) I*'. A 1? ANXK SI 11 1? IJ] Y, —I think I r.i wiling by air is most enjoyable. I'ceent ly we left llurcwood about 10.10 a.m.. arriving at Wellington about I I a.m. As we ascended the houses and 'fai ni> became miniatures and looked very picturcMpie. The rivers were like tiny streams. ,\s we followed the constline we could see the sea out oi one window and out ol the other the land. The waves breaking (tn the heaeh reminded dip of a slow moving picture. Some of the country below was very desolate and ha-rrcn. Somotinios we were Hying above the clouds, which were like great pieces of cotton-wool; this was a lovely sight. The rain clouds were not so nice for they looked like dirty sheep's wool. The mountains on the West Coast towered out of the clouds like big giants, with nice clean white caps of snow. As we crossed Cook Strait we could see both the North and South Islands. The sea lav like a great green velvety carpet stippled with white specks. The only trouble with the trip was that it ended all too soon.—Yours sincerely. Betty Frost. Turiw iri
