Down to the capital also known as windy Wellington. And boy does it live up to its name. headed down to the key and nearly got blown off my feet. It’s windy most days of the year here as the wind gets channelled through the cook straight, the gap that lies between the two items of New Zealand. Visited the Museum which has some fascinating displays on the flora and fauna are of New Zealand, unfortunately being a Saturday it was also full up of New Zealand kids. Not so many kids in the parliament building where I had a tour. New Zealand in many ways is ahead of the game. They gave votes to women at the end of the 19 century. And in 1951 they abolished the House of Lords. Maybe some ideas there for us. Took the cable car up to the top of the botanic Gardens for some wonderful views over the harbour. It was a viewing neve seen by Captain Cook as he didn’t venture into many other harbours when he charted the outline the country at the end of the 18 century. He missed a fine view.
