2017-10 Wellington (New Zealand)

Model of Haast eagle attacking moa bird


It seems fitting that my final day in New Zealand was in the city with the best museum, the Te Papa. Out of it's five levels, it has two completely full of different exhibits. One afternoon was not enough to see and immerse myself in all the exhibits.

Colossal squid
Some of the highlights included an earthquake house (that you could stand in and feel a simulated earthquake as the house shook), a colossal squid (with eyeballs the size of soccer balls), and life size models of now extinct wildlife such as the moa bird and Haast's eagle

Slide along the waterfront


I didn't see much around Wellington, although I did find some delicious chocolate, walked along the waterfront and even slid down a slide.
