Wellington Day 2

A very true sign on our second day in Wellington.

Looking out at the harbor in Wellington from a prominent overview.

The Carter Observatory in Wellington.

 

A neat sundial.

We found a cool park that we walked through.

Oh and we went shopping before the park…

 

And then we found this awesome sculpture.

Evidently it’s a listening and viewing device.

Kristen tried it out.

The cable car was a lot of fun.

 

 

Over at the museum in Wellington we found this huge black circle.  It intrigued us.

For the Glory of the Empire!

A small fleet of sailboats on the harbor.

Odd sculptures.

 

A memorial to the United States Marine Corps for WWII.

Yes, Jack Yan ran on a platform of bringing free wi-fi to Wellington.  Awesome.

Holding up a statue.

Time for a pint!

 

Wellington Day 1

This is a rather odd thing to see in Wellington.  It’s supposed to symbolize the film industry of New Zealand that happens to be headquartered in this area.  We both saw a terrifying three-legged walking movie camera.

Random benches are random.

I think it’s a fish.  Maybe.

An ANZAC and WWII memorial.

 

The Beehive: Seat of New Zealand power.

 

For being the capital, there sure wasn’t much in the way of security.

We found the supreme court just down the street.

Motorcycles and a random fallen column.

More motorcycles!

Time for a pint.

Lots of interesting murals around Wellington.

 

A lion and a unicorn.  Awesome.

 

 

 

 

Food time.

Random lizard.

And then in started raining as we went home.

 

Whanganui

Whanganui is a cute town tucked away off the beaten path in New Zealand.  The downtown is adorable and has good chai lattes.

 

 

We climbed up this tower for the view.

It’s a WWI memorial for the diggers.

 

View from the top.

 

 

It was super windy up there.

Stencil art.

 

 

 

When the hooter is sounded, please vacate immediately.

Trout on a house!
