Wellington, North Island, New Zealand March 13, 2025
Wellington is the national capitol of New Zealand.
SURPRISE!!!Port of Wellington
We woke to an announcement from the Westerdam Captain. "The ship did not arrive in Picton this morning because of high winds." It had actually turned around and went to Lyttlelton near Christchurch to take a sick passenger. With high seas it had continued on to Wellington. Because we were scheduled to go to Picton, we were rewarded with an extra day in Wellington. SWEET!
Wellington Beach
That water color is unbelievable.
The Beehive, Government Administrative Building
I love the old architecture in this city.
Our first day we walked the city and waterfront.
We cut through a cool alley and found...
this sign along the way. Wellington has a lot of reclaimed shoreline because this sign was quite a distance from the water.
We found the Cuba area...Cuba in New Zealand.
Some cool art
Modern Wellington
Victory University Law School
Love this statue....the little dog is exuberantly mid air.
The second day of our Wellington stay, Larry and I rode the tram to the top of the mountain.
The tram passed through this tunnel of lights.
The views from the top showed the city at its best.
The tram styles changed over the years.
We enjoyed the older trams in the museum at the top of the hill.
After visiting the museum, we walked through the Botanical Gardens.
The rose garden was exquisite.
I really love the unusual fern trees in New Zealand.
Lichen
A great coffee shop with some lovely art
These are the green parrots that we are hoping to spot at Author's Pass in a couple of weeks.
We had two fantastic days in Wellington. Life can't get any better than this.
