Second visit

We are here for 2 days. We're from Melbourne Australia. This is the second time we've visited. The first time was 35 years ago for our honeymoon. 


We have had dinner overlooking the water, lunch on the quay, visited Te Papa and now this museum. We took the bus to the city and rode up the cable car and walked down through the beautiful gardens. We love Wellington!

A Single Candle...

A single candle can [light] a thousand candles and its life won't be shortened. Happiness never decreases when shared. This museum is a candle.

The Secret Museum

I have a long history with Wellington and indeed the City and Sea Museum. I work as a nanny and every school holidays I'll take them to the 'secret museum'. I never get over the look on their faces when the taniwha's eye appears on the roof of that second floor exhibition.

A Feature of Wellington, But

Today was very windy. I know strong wind is one of the features of Wellington. But today's wind was extraordinary strong. That's why I came [to] this museum to have a seat.
