Wellington



We left Picton in drizzling rain and boarded the ferry back to the North Island. It was St Patrick’s Day in Wellington. We had one museum stop before hitting the streets to see how the town celebrated. Te Papa, the National Museum of New Zealand, had a spectacular exhibit of Maori culture, history and artifacts.

After a stop at the local market to get a bottle of wine, we had dinner at a Malaysian restaurant- beef rendang. After dinner, we walked the restaurant row to see how St Pat’s day was progressing. It was pretty tame compared to a U.S. city.
