Wellington, 2B

It certainly wasn't our busiest day ever, but it was a good day and ultimately will take five posts to recount.

At Carducci's, on Happy Valley Road

Officially it's a mini-golf course

But actually it's someone's massive outdoor iron sculpture
garden

Impressive too

"Get off the road!" Next we were on Mount Victoria,
revisiting some favorite LOTR sites

Now with signage

Where the four hobbits hid from the Black Rider

Getting eroded away by all the visitors and tours

At the foot of Mount Victoria, a typical New Zealand
playground; best we've seen, anywhere

But the day wasn't over...we got back to our room to see
that 12 Years A Slave had won Best Picture; so we went to
see it that evening at the Embassy, Wellington's great old
Art Deco cinema, where LOTR had its debut(s) (another post)
