Rain! Lately it has rained a lot. We are apparently catching the end of a typhoon, which is responsible for the wind and rain.
We spent the morning getting 'organised', which meant breakfast, clothes washing etc. etc.
At midday we ventured out and walked to the Te Papa museum, one of the 'must sees' in the capital. It had exhibits on earthquakes, animals, people and was really interesting. One of our favourite things was a giant squid and accompanying 3D movie.
In the evening we ventured out to the Wellington museum of the city and the sea. There was a free jazz concert on and as the museum was open until 9pm, we got to look around too. The museum has been voted in the top 50 museums in the world and it certainly had some great attractions.
Outside the museum was a small temporary ice rink, like we have at home and also the TSB stadium. It seemed fairly busy so we asked the people on the door, what was happening inside. There was a big basketball game inside between the Saints and the Sharks. As it was after half time, they let us in for free to take a look. We spent the rest of our evening cheering the teams on! Very cool ...
