After a 4 hour ferry ride we have arrived in Wellington, the capitol of New Zealand.... very busy town when we arrived, lotsa narrow one way streets and one stressed out driver :) We spent about 5+ hours at Te Papa (National Museum) , probably could have pent another couple of hours looking at all the cool stuff there.....then off to the Weta Cave which was a small free to the public part of WetaWorks...you might have heard of them before...they did the special effects for LOTR , District 9 , and Avatar.
