We spent the morning at Te Papa Tongarewa, the Museum of New Zealand. We took a guided tour first, which was a good introduction to some of the highlights, then went back to some of the exhibitions later (and had lunch there). It is a superb museum, both in the quality and quantity of the exhibitions it houses. One morning is simply not enough time to do it justice, but we saw a good selection of what they have.
After lunch we walked to the cable car and went up to the Botanical Gardens and the cable car museum. The views from the top were stunning, especially as it's a glorious sunny day today (and is maintaining Wellington's tradition of being windy - the local paper today suggests that adopting a 'windswept' hair style will save effort).
We're now sorting out the luggage so we can pack all the odds and ends we've been carting round (we've had to buy an extra suitcase!). And we have to leave the hotel by 7am to get to the ferry in town.
