A Day in Wellington






First of all, I said that my wonderful friends and hosts, Jennifer and Michael, would make the blog next time out. So I'm making good...here they are!


This will be a short one, as I'm very tired after a full, but very tiring day. The kids and I caught the 10:13am train today to Wellington. The second picture was taken from the very front of the train, where the friendly conductor let us sit for a while "so the kiddos could see the tunnels straight on." Upon arrival, we went to the Te Papa Museum, New Zealand's fabulous and not at all crowded national museum. We spent a couple of hours there but could easily have spent all day or more. Afterward, off to meet the Bergers to take the Cable Car up the hill, from where the first picture is taken, then wandered down through the Botanical Gardens for a few hours. The last picture is taken in the Rose Garden. What is not to like about this place?


Train home, leftovers, showers, and ready for another week.
