Wellington cable car

This cable car was built in 1902 and is worth a ride up - we then walked down through the botanical gardens. After this we saw the Parliament buildings (known as the beehive) and down on the waterfront did a quick tour of the Wellington Museum. A free museum funded by Wellington City Council. The maritime part was interesting particularly the account of the Wahine disaster in about 1957 when an inter island ferry foundered in a storm at the entrance to Wellington harbour.
We returned to the AirBnb then went back to the waterfront for dinner that evening.
