I went to Wellington on business for 4 days in July, 4 days of rain and wind. Since I was here on business I did not have much time, nor the weather, to explore all the things that I could have done, but nevertheless, I hope that you will find theses pages interesting.
There is a certain city feeling in Wellington: High-rise buildings, arcades, malls, narrow streets, busy traffic, cafes and bars. Wellington is a cosmopolitan place. I enjoyed my 4 days here. Note the electric bus in the picture. You don't see these too often these days, most cities have scrapped them.
- Pros:The pulse of a city
- Cons:Changing weather
- In a nutshell:Cosmopolitan

Hi Jan, Your restaurant pages always make me feel hungry!:) Great Wellington pages. I have this part of the globe on my wish list.
Windy Wellington for sure:-).. I've heard great things about the Te Papa Museum. Shame the cable car ride wasn't all you had hoped - next time summer trip:-)
Great job Jan. Hope next time is better with the weather situation!! Which part of Norway are you from?!?!
you do have a point, wires and all, but hey, the traffic was never user friendly for photographers heheh great page Jan.enjoyed that.
What an interesting page about my home town. Thanks. It's great.
They certainly do not call it Windy Wellington for nothing. Thank you for sharing this page with me.
