Should have done this a while ago...

I never actually showed you all what Wellington looks like! So on Sunday Eoin and I took a walk around town and I took pictures of the city. It was a really nice day, and I totally forgot that there is a huge hole in the O-Zone layer over us...we both got sunburns!

The first place we stopped on our walk was the Basin Reserve. This is where the National Cricket Museum is, as well as a Cricket Field. We actually saw a team at practice, here is what Cricket players look like when they are practicing:

We then walked to the central business district where Courtenay Place is. Courtenay Place is the hub of night life( pubs, bars, clubs, restaurants etc). They are doing a bunch of construction there, putting in new lights, so I didn't really get a good picture, but here is one section of Courtenay Place:

We then walked down to the bay. There was a skateboarding competition going on at the park nearby. We saw some ducks swimming in the bog, and some were sleeping on the beach. There were also some children playing in the water. Here is a picture of some of the sailboats docked in the harbor. Notice how clean and clear the water is!

We then walked along Queens Warf, this is basically just a nice walk from one end of town to the other. It goes right along the water, and there are parks, restaurants and a few ice cream stands along the way. Here is the view from the boats of Queens Warf.

Well, now that I showed you around a bit, I hope you are all jealous of the beautiful sunshine we had.... it is raining now, and it supposed to rain for the rest of week...but when it is sunny outside it is gorgeous here!

Miss you all!
