The Capital


During the last term school holidays we went to Wellington to visit our friends who have just moved down there. This was my first visit. I liked this vibrant city with its richness of restaurants, theatres, bars and street performers. It has a personable feel that may be due to the large volume of small stores and businesses that are predominantly its make-up.

We stayed with our friends who had a place in Paekakariki right next to the beach. A quaint town with a warm café that served excellent coffee and a random collection of stores that were closed when we arrived but looked liked they would be fun to explore.

I finally got to Te Papa, (the other main purpose of my trip) and I particularly enjoyed the visit to Parliament.
