Day 341: Wellington

The last time we went to Wellington's botanic gardens it poured on us.  But it was February and the flowers were in full bloom.  It was interesting to visit a month later in the season and see how much fewer flowers there are.  But there were still a lot, and we could actually see them instead of having to peer through a wall of water.  This time we got to enjoy the sculptures as well.

I do not know what New Zealand has done to deserve this!

The Te Papa museum has not changed at all, but it is still a great place to see the natural history collections of every kind of animal known only to New Zealand, walk all over the floor map of New Zealand and admire Maori carvings.
