Wellington

Quiet day today in Wellington. It's the second largest city in NZ and the capital of the country.  Population around 400,000. 

It's a very windy city:

We visited Te Papa which is an extensive and exquisite museum. I recommend it highly. We had a Maori guide and we are starting to learn more about these native people of New Zealand. 

Marc and I decided to stay in town in the afternoon and had a mediocre lunch. (We should have returned to the ship for lunch where the food continues to wow us. ). We did walk a few miles this afternoon - which we really needed to do. 

Highlight of lunch was this BitterBitch IPA which Marc enjoyed:
