FW: Wellington, 05 April 2009

Wellington is the Capitol of New Zealand. We spent time on "Cuba Street". Highlights included dinner at a deli with chairs and tables set up in the evening and live classical music at Cafe Italiano - simple and good http://www.italiano.co.nz, live music at one of the "Hotels", and coffee on Cuba Street at "Midnight Espresso". We bicycled north along beaches on an unusually windless day. The National Museum "Te Papa" is a must visit... we even got to view a Monet exhibit from Boston (USA) that is on loan as the Boston museum undergoes renovation.
