Wellington, 2023: Harbor Scenes

From our campsite near the national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, we walked the harbor waterfront both directions on different days, toward the Bluebridge ferry terminal one way and then beyond Oriental Bay the other way. It's a lively and scenic area, day and night.

Initially we thought these were tourists gathering for boat rides...

But no, it's local civic dragon boat practice


The waterfront is a a place of memorials


Looking toward the Bluebridge ferry terminal and beyond it the
container city; sandwiched in between is the cruise ship terminal

Looking back across the harbor toward Te Papa and then Oriental
Bay

Huge climbing gym near the former customs house


The Deloitte team going for it

Sculpture commemorating the discoverers

Back to Te Papa

Interesting artsy house in Oriental Bay

Deco echo and more interesting stuff on the hill above


And looking back to Te Papa and the city from Oriental Bay
