Wellington is not as big as Auckland but it is New Zealand's political capital. Similar to Canberra and Sydney, or Washington and New York. Wellington was a lot more picturesque than Canberra! There were various scenic looking houses dotted over the hills, in a setting by the sea. It reminded me of some of the places in Northern England, say like Whitby, and the horrendous weather only helped to enhance that impression.

We had a quick tour round the town and stopped for something to eat. We also checked out a view point which gave excellent views over the city.

The Kiwi's have this annoying habit of saying "'ay'" on the end of every sentence and, by this point, it was seriously starting to wind us up.
