Wellington, NZ - Day 46

Wellington, 300,000 population, is the capital of New Zealand, and enjoys a lovely setting. It is hailed by many as the "coolest little capital in the world." Its history is embodied in a rich collection of architecture, from classic weatherboard wooden cottages and the clean lines of art deco to Edwardian as well as postmodern.
