We arrived in Wellington and met up with Tanya's Dad.

The following day while he worked we toured the city. Our first trip was to take the cable car to the botanic gardens.

The Cable Car is one of Wellingtons oldest and most popular tourist attractions. The cable car journeys up under the motorway, through the three tunnels, past Kelburn Park and Victoria University and on to the top entrance of the city's Botanic Garden where various walks begin and where the Carter Observatory and Planetarium are located.
