Wellington

---

We camped on our way to Wellington. Our luck has been to get hit by cloudy skies and ran lately, so we decided to make the most of it and go body surfing down the river (lots of bruises after that one!) then have a fun night around the campfire. In Wellington, we went to the museum, and then Ali and I went down by the ocean. The meditating man was definitely a favorite!

Maori Man
Another Maori man like the one in the middle of the room that we stayed in at the beginning of our trip.

Museum House
I don't remember exactly what this is, but it looked pretty cool.

Ali and I having a little fun with the man in the Maori part of the museum.

White to Black
The White to Black display in the museum. It's the only picture of art we got before we saw the sign for no photography... It's too bad too because there were some really neat pieces. This one was a lot cooler than the camera can show.

Jungle Gym
A cool rope jungle gym down by the beach.

Playground
More playground and a cute little girl in a sunhat playing on it.

Fountain
A fountain along the shoreline of the Wellington beach.

City on the Hill
A large portion of Wellington seemed to be built on a hill. It would be a great view of the ocean from up there!

Meditating Man
One of my favorite pictures. Speedos are a pretty common thing in New Zealand...no matter how old they are.

Smile
Ali and I smiling away.

Steps
Ali along some interesting steps along the shore.

Step Shoreline
A view of the ocean from the sitting stairs.

True Facts
This sign is so true. The people of Wellington do not believe in braking for pedestrians.

Dork
