Wellington/ Te Anu Museum




After a fantastic breakfast in Rotoroa I left for Wellington. Another somewhat larger turbo prop...I really like smaller planes. Anyhow, the flight took about an hour. Coming into Wellington you pass over some wonderful mountain ranges, then suddenly see the city before you and the dark turquoise/royal blue water...it's beautiful.

The Wellington YHA is 2 blocks from the water and the Te Anu Museum, which is one of the things I most wanted to see in NZ. I spent about 2 1/2 hours there today and just barely scratched the surface. There is so much I don't know about Pacific Island culture, and this is possibly the best museum of it's kind in the world.
