Hi, I live in Wellington NZ. Have you done your trip yet? In Wellington - don't miss Te Papa the national museum, the walk around the waterfront to Oriental Parade, The Southern coastline behind the city. You can't go wrong heading to the Cuba quarter for shopping and lunch, and the Courtney quarter for dinner or clubbing. Hope you have a great time:) Kiwisunf
