Wellington Sightseeing

This morning, while waiting for one last document for our Chinese visa applications, we explored Te Papa Museum. We particularly enjoyed the nature exhibits and the interactive art. We made a quick stop for lunch at the new Willis Lane Foodcourt (and obligatory hazy) before continuing on to complete today's number one priority (printing all the documents for Nathan and his parents Chinese visas).

Afterwards we decided to explore a bit of Wellington. We took the Wellington Cable car to the top of Kelburn Hill for some awesome views of the city and harbour before returning to the CBD and walking back to the marina.

Walking along the downtown waterfront we noticed some strange looking splashing in the water. As we got closer it became apparent that there was a huge pod of dolphins playing in the waves, surfing in towards the Quay before circling back out and repeating. There were at least 50 dolphins and they hung around for more than half an hour. We have really been blessed with our dolphins encounters so far this trip.

We stopped at the Wellington waterfront sign for a couple of quick snaps before heading back to Starling to relax. Tomorrow will be the big day, submitting our Chinese visa applications! Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly...Okumaya devam et
