Wellington III

I'm wandering around central Wellington looking for bees. I'm told there is a bee hive in the centre. I can't see it.

The predicted big storm is here. All ferries cancelled. This brave container has decided to go for a swim. I'm not standing in front of the camera for this one!

Wellington II

Going for a little walk along Wellington water front. Its all very nice so decided to stop for a coffee. It's a flat white and has a fern drawn on the top.

Following my coffee I felt I had the energy to fly over to another part of the harbour. As you can see I was warmly welcomed.

Wellington Botanical Gardens

This is the view from the botanical gardens at the top of the cable car. Its a bit overcast but not bad really. You can see the ferries from here. I'm due to be on one in a couple of days going over to the South Island. Big storm on the way, hope its gone by the time I travel.

Another view from the gardens. This is by the observatory. I can see a big cannon pointing at the harbour from here. Another thing to worry about when I'm on the ferry then! It's very nice up here. Think I'll save myself a bit of typing, click here.

Wellington Again

back in Wellington for a few days. The weather can be a bit changeable here so I am going up to the botanic gardens when the weather is nice. It's a short ride on the cable car, I'm sitting behind the driver.

There's a museum about the cable car at the top. This is one of the old cars. It's seats are at an angle to stop people sliding on the hill.

Wellington

Here I am in Wellington, New Zealand, starting the second leg of my holiday. Flight wasn't bad as Wellington can be quite windy.

I'm off to pick up the hire car shortly. Having a look at a leaflet to see what I fancy visiting. Looks like a relative has an ad here.

Got the car. A nice Mitsubishi lancer. No wine for me today!
