Windy Wellington

by knerten - last update: Jul 29, 2004

This city lives up to its name

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.

A city to my liking

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.

 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:-)
