I am having a terrible time with these computers and getting pictures...sorry.
We got into Wellington really late, but got up really early the next morning. We got up and headed for Cuba St. the local cultural center. We were searching for a cafe called "Fidel's" for breakfast. We couldn't find the place so we settled for one of the many other cafe's and had a fantastic breakfast.
We needed a big breakfast, because we love lookouts (if you cant tell) and lookouts are always really high. We hiked to the top of Mt. Victoria in central Wellington- yes there is a mountain in downtown Wellington.
Starved we hiked along the scenic bay of Wellington over to the Parliment building where we had lunch at Bench-Backer's Pub: a local political hangout covered with satirical political cartoons. Then we spent the rest of the day basking in Wellington's eccentricities, museums, and shops. Finally, we found Fidel's cuban cafe on Cuba St, where we did some people watching and rested our legs from hiking all over Wellington.
We finished our day in a Pub watching the Highlanders play the Blues in rugby. We took in the game with some rabid Highlander fans. I think we have been initiated into the Highlander fan club.
