On my Wild Women Expeditions trip in Hawaii I met a great woman, who made me laugh so much, Carole. Well Carole hooked me up with her friend who lives in Wellington - so I was very fortunate to stay in a home for 2 days while visiting this fantastic city.
Wellington is NZ capital with a small population of 164,000! It's a great city with eclectic shops and people. It really reminded me of Queen St. west in Toronto - with less people. My travel goal was to get to Wellington in time to catch the local rugby club play! That I did! The Wellington Hurricanes (commonly called the "canes" played the Southern Kings from South Africa, and won).
The next morning was rainy and yucky so I didn't wander far from the house but rather got the local feel as we took the dogs out for a walk in the "bush". It made me miss my Darby girl but it was a really great walk. I must make Wellington more of a priority next time I travel to Mew Zealand so I can take the cable car and go to the museum and wander the interesting streets.
Later in the day I took the inter islander ferry across the Cook Straight to Picton in the South Island. The boat was something else with a bar, restaurant, shop, nursery, movie theatre, jungle gym... Fantastic views all around!
