How the day out began ... waiting for bus 52 or 57 0r 58 to Wellington Central.We took the bus into Wellington Central early, watching Wellingtonians ‘go to work’. As it was well before opening time for the Te Papa Museum, we scurried about visiting areas we had not seen before. The wind was picking up!
Even though we tried to do the museum justice by spending 3 hours learning, thoroughly enjoying and being ‘moved’ by the fascinating displays and information we knew we still had only scratched the surface. Te Papa is full of the treasures and unique stories of Aotearoa New Zealand from Maori and Pacific culture, to art and the natural environment. Level 3, Blood Earth Fire, was my favourite. We began at level 6 and worked our way to level 3, with 2 and 1 still to go, however, we were out-on-our-feet. When Jane said she was tired, I knew it was time to get off our legs. Exiting the museum, we were hit with the famous Wellington wind. It may have been asleep yesterday; however, it was now in full force. To a quay side eatery we headed and slowly partook in a late lunch before ambling off to a final Wellington coffee and small sweet.

How the day returning ended ... a coffee and small treat.minutes of returning to our van. Final day tomorrow will consist of making sure all is in order with the motorhome before dropping it off and being transported to our accommodation very close to the airport for a very early rise and take-off the following morning. We have had a ball.
