Day 142 Wellington, New Zealand

I left the ship first thing and headed out for a very long walk.  I walked from the port into the city first stopping by the Parliament buildings, the Cathedral and the “Beehive”.  Then I headed for the cable car up to the top of the mountain to see the Botanic Gardens.  I started my trek down the mountain, admiring the scenery and flowers.  One of the highlights on the way down was the Lady Norwood Rose Garden.  After getting back down to the city, I ran into Allan & Sandra and spent a few hours with them including an amazing lunch at “Shed 5”… great restaurant.  After they left, I continued walking about and even walked back up to the gardens before walking back to the ship.  All in all it was a great day!
