Day 14 - Windy Wellington

We decided to have a bit of walk around Wellington today; take a look at the historic buildings and a walk around the botanical gardens. All quite pleasant in the the sun, though the wind that Wellington is reknowned for was definitely present today. We rather did things the wrong way around in taking the furnicular down from the botanical gardens to the city having walked up - but still fun to do.

Following getting accommodation sorted (not easy as fruit picking season), and catching up on the blogging etc., we headed out to Hastings. This is near to Te Mata peak where Carolyn started paragliding. (We'd have been better off at Havelock North for restaurant options as Hastings, although the central town is not geared for tourists particularly, but our hotel was comfortable enough for the 2 nights, and a good deal with breakfast included)
