Arrived in Wellington to find a super hostel with lovely accommodation and all mod-cons available. Complimentary coffee, tea, milk and sugar...wow!!(take note UK hostels!!).
Spent latter part of afternoon walking up to Mount Victoria to the viewpoint over the city and harbour. Later on, explored the city, especially the Cuber St and downtown area which really had a certain vibe. Would like to say "went clubbing", but too old and knackered!!
The following day saw Pam taking off to "Te Pape" the museum to visit in NZ with lots of interactive and touch screen presentation centred on Maori culture and the peculiar volcanic origins of the country, whilst Paul explored the inner sanctums of climbing/walking gear shops abundantly peppered around one specific street in Wellington(very sensible planning I think!).
Met at Lunchtime and took the funicular up to the Botanical Gardens, where we spent a good few hours wandering around the unusual plants which grow in this part of the southern hemisphere.

You've been away too long!
You missed the trip to Hawes Youth Hostel, where Sue and I got an en-suite roon with complimentary everything (even towels). So does that make the YHA psychic, or did we just benefit from a Sue Williams Superb Trips production? The weather was even perfect!
