Wellington Photos

Wellington Harbour, with some pretty menacing clouds overhead. They soon made their presence known in other ways, making us flee for shelter in a café (or perhaps that was Gary’s excuse to get his BLT fix).

One beautiful view down into Wellington from the botanical gardens, complete with the tram that brought us up and a rainbow! It looks a little like a child’s painting! And of course there's also a photo of Gary with the nice rainbow and Wellington spread out behind him.

And as we descended from the tram terminal we passed through the impressive botanical gardens (following the path marked with pink flowers). This part was full of things that looked like alpine cacti.

Walking the plank! I thought it would make a nice photo if I walked to the end of this random plank sticking out over Wellington harbour. And it did… but as I walked out the wind suddenly picked up – as you can see I’m bracing myself against it. Trying desperately not to fall off into the icy water below!

A lovely sunset over the harbour. New Zealand is a very pretty place!

And a lovely sunrise! We had to make a painfully early start to get to the ferry for Picton, but at least we were rewarded with the first light of day falling across the water.
