Sunny Wellington by the sea

We awake after a great nights sleep and the luxury continues with a nice warm shower and fluffy towels this morning.  It is going to be difficult readjusting to life in Betty when we get back on the road.

After breakfast we grab the train into Wellington city centre and have a good wander around the waterfront.

This part of town is really nice and reminds Mrs M and myself alot of when we used to live in Bristol.  

We then head through Civic Square

and up on the cable car to the Botanic Gardens.  The gardens are looking lovely in the sun and we have a good walk round much of the 25 hectares.

We catch the return cable car back into the city

and have a bite to eat on the waterfront before making our way to Te Papa.  This museum has loads of great displays and information on everything to do with New Zealand and we spend the rest of the afternoon here.

A great day in Wellington.
