DAY 8: Walkabout Wellington

From NZ - DAY 8


WELLINGTON -- Today I spent most of my time walking. I rode on some old time cable cars and wandered around the Wellington Botanical Gardens.

The gardens is a lot like NYC's Central Park, because of its many little nuggets of awesome. The gardens are not as big but pretty fun for several hours of walking.

After that I went to the New Zealand government buildings and got a tour. It was nice. The buildings are not very impressive at all -- especially comparing them to the U.S. Capitol and even the Wisconsin State Capitol. Anyhow. The nice thing about Wellington is that everything is free.

I went to a museum about the Cable Cars, which was free. The tour of Parliament was free and the country's largest museum, Te Papa is also free.

My legs are tired. I may go to a movie at a cinema close by. Cheers.
