We’re asking visitors to write and leave love letters to Wellington in the Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui exhibition at the Museum of Wellington City & Sea. The exhibition features people's stories and passion about the greater Wellington region. One letter per day is selected to add to this blog. We welcome and encourage conversation and feedback to each letter.
Love Letters to Wellington

Overrun by unicycles
Thirty days hath September, thirty things we remember … (#17 of 30)
My husband and I had come to visit Wellington a few times before we settled here from the UK a few years ago. We had always loved Wellington, being close to the water, surrounded by green hills and the fact that something was always happening. On one of our stops we ran into the World Unicycling Competition on the waterfront and would see unicyclists zipping around town including one collecting a takeaway pizza whilst on his unicycle. We decided on that trip that Wellington is where we wanted to be and we haven’t regretted it! (Becky, Learning and Public Programmes Developer, Carter Observatory)
Stay tuned for our daily memory posts throughout Wellington’s Heritage Month 2013 - where staff and volunteers share one of their favourite stories of the Wellington Region.
