Welcome To 'Windy Welly'

Pic of Day: The scene at Wellington Airport in New Zealand moments before the triumphant Irish rugby team disembarked from their flight back from Dunedin where they had secured the first ever win over the New Zealand All Blacks on New Zealand soil. The welcome sign is a reference to the fact that Wellington is one of the windiest capital cities in the world and is known far and wide as "Windy Welly." The photo was taken by Irish Ambassador to New Zealand, Peter Ryan, who was on hand to welcome the Irish team.
