Wellington, NZ

I'm not sure if you can tell because of the time difference, but I've actually fallen a day behind in my posts. Yesterday was our last day in Wellington, and we spent most of it in the National Museum, Te Papa, where we had seen Sir Ian McKellen on Sunday. The museum was huge and very modern. It felt designed, like the rooms were designed around the exhibits, instead of the exhibits being placed in the rooms.

Then we took the Wellington Cable car to the Botanic Gardens on top of a huge hill.
