We had a beautiful sunny day in Wellington before taking the ferry to the South Island. We drove to the top of a hill and enjoyed a gorgeous view over the harbour. We walked down through the botanical gardens. These gardens were all arranged on rather steep hillsides. The hydrangeas were in full bloom.
Once we were at the bottom we took the cable car back up to the campervan. After lunch at the top we headed for the Museum of New Zealand. Wow, talk about high tech! One exhibit was a ride simulating the NZ extreme sports. A ride is as far as we go - no jumping out of planes or bungy jumping for us.
We took in the stories of the first people here, the Maoris...
as well as those that came later. We enjoyed a movie on the screen reliving the modern history of NZ, while items in the old junk shop popped up to participate in the story.
Our cruise ship for the three hour passage to the South Island.
We're leaving Wellington for now. We'll be back in a couple of weeks.
