Another Visit to Wellington

On this visit to Wellington we drove as we wanted to go to the Mt Victoria lookout where the views are quite spectacular. On one side you can see the airport runway and watch the planes fly in and out and the other side gives you views of the city centre and harbour.

                            

                            

On the drive down we noticed lots of locals out walking and jogging on the many tracks that are in the parklands, lovely to see people out and about enjoying their city. Our next stop was the famous Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The outside of the building is very striking and inside it is just as amazing. A very modern museum, we found the displays and activities so interesting, we hope to have another visit there as we didn't see everything.

                            

A rather strange looking bridge that connects the heart of the city to the waterfront, called the City to the Sea Bridge. It's a pedestrian bridge and public artwork that looks mostly constructed of timber.

                            

Some of the artwork on top of the bridge.

                            

                            

Another nice day in the city but then home to these gorgeous creatures. Just watching them is fun especially when they are playing with each other, they bounce about rather than run, very cute!
