We had bad weather in Wellington it pretty must rained for the whole three days that we were there, but this didn't matter much because there is alot to do indoors in Wellington. We took time relaxing and restocking on things we needed for south Island.
On Saturday we headed to Te Papa - the national museum. It was a great museum, it was interactive and really well done. It was absolutly massive aswell, it had exhibitions on everything from earthquakes and volcanoes to Maori tribes and the treaty of Waitangi and scots in New Zealand. We had to go to a record shop called Real Groovy that we had first found in Auckland as Andrew wanted to buy some of the New Zealand music that Bagginz had been playing on the bus. He got a Nathane Haynes album and some shapeshifter! On the way back from REal Groovy we had the most random experience ever! Andrew bumped into some he use to work with at East Northants. Clare was in Wellington for a wedding and just happened to be stood on the street having a fag as we walked past! Was very strange!
On the sunday we went to the National Cricket Museum of New Zealand, in Basin Reserve. The Museum was really creepy and the guy that ran it was a bit strange. For a start he had to turn everything on when we arrived because we were the first visitors of the day. However Andrew enjoyed it and said that they had some interesting things so it was all good.
Wellington is nicer than Auckland, much more friendly and smaller so much easier to get around. It reminded Andrew of Manchester because it had a good music scene, lots of cafes and pubs and ofcourse the rain and gloomy weather.
