What would you do?
I'm in Wellington city this Sat morning, I'm fly down Fri night for an event and fly out 3pm Sat. I really want to see Te Papa, but is there anything else I should check out in the city? Markets? ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

Hi
Te Papas good, and if you're into museums the Wellington City and Sea is really good. Its on Queens Wharf. It's a nice walk along the water front to Te Papa from there too. If it's a nice day you can hire a sea kayak and cruse around the habour too. The place that has the Kayaks also has indoor rock climbing as well. Wellingtons great to just have a wander around too. Could check out Cuba Street and Botanical Gardens. The cable car up to the gardens is really cheap. There is a good food market, but its on Sundays. There use to be some good ones but they've been demolished/have nothing good in them. I assume that since you're going to an event that you don't have any kids with you? If so Capital E is great at the moment, heaps of cool shows on for the school holidays. |

Hey Jade. Definitely have a wander around the waterfront if it's a nice day. There are some lovely restaurants, bars and cafes along there. I'd also meander over to the old bank arcade and have a look at the shops in there. A trip up the cable car is good if the weather's nice (there's a great view over the city from the top) and if you have the time you can walk back into town again through the gardens and the cemetry (it's a lovely walk) or if times short you can just grab the cable car back down again. -------------

Thanks!!
We had a lovely morning down there, brunch in Chews Lane, bought the most gorgeous ruby-red, velvet ballet flats on Willis St, and got terribly nauseous on the rides at Te Papa!! Not a good idea after a night on the town! ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

Glad you had a nice time. What rides at Te Papa! Have they got new ones? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |
