• Day 2, Wellington, part 1

    December 27, 2023 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    The first full day in Wellington. I asked Chat GPT to prepare an itinerary. It wasn't too bad, but could have been better. More in that later.

    Our first stop was Mount Victoria lookout. There is a great view of Wellington, showing how big (not very) and spread out it is. We even named a small walk around the lookout.

    Our second so was Te Papa, the national museum. This didn't open until 10am, hence the first stop at the lookout. There was an exhibition of the New Zealand ANZAC involvement in WW1 that I wish I had more time with, but we were running out of parking. There a very good Maori exhibition, but photos are limited out of respect (plus the signs days no photos in certain second).

    Chat GPT did not specify opening times, and we drive to an area it directed is to, but it was 4WD only. Not for my hire car.
