Happy New Year from Wellington!

We got an early-ish start this morning for our 4 hr drive to Wellington. Once we arrived, we visited the Museum of New Zealand. There were exhibits on the cultural and natural history of NZ. One exhibit, on NZ's role in WWI, was designed by the Weta Workshop, who create the practical effects for many well-known movies. After we were sufficiently museum-ed out, we took the cable car up for a view of the city and dinner. We then took a quick break in our hotel room so we'd be able to make it out for the midnight festivities!Read more
