🌞 Out exploring on a gorgeous sunny day in Wellington, NZ.

🚶 Time to put my feet up. The walk back to the hotel after dinner has me at 19,734 steps for the day and I just can’t be bothered doing the last few to hit 20k.

🤠 Have made a trip to the hat factory and may have accidentally purchased a few.

🏨 Back at the hotel after a pretty full day. Walked 17,054 steps, wandered all around Te Papa, museum of New Zealand, and checked out some little bars.

Walked out of one bar and straight into the Hanging Ditch next door for a New York sour.

A bar with bottles of spirits hanging by cables from the ceiling rather than on a shelf behind the bar. The bar is wooden and wooden bar stools sit in front of it.A cocktail in a whisky style glass on a wooden table. The bottom is clear and the top half is a red colour. The top is white foam and two short black straws are in the glass.

Golding’s Free Dive bar in Wellington has a Star Wars theme going on.

Inside a bar, a Star Wars stormtrooper armour suspended across the ceiling, a row of stormtrooper figurines on a beam high up, a model millennium falcon on the wall.Inside a bar, lots of colours, lots of stickers on the side of the bar and posts, a neon BEER sign on the back wall. Some small flags hanging, old skis suspended above the bar.

🍺 On my feet most of the day so checking out a funky bar and sampling a locally brewed beer from Garage Project, Wellington NZ.

🇳🇿 Today’s plan is to spend a big chunk of it in Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand.

🍷 Time for a pinot noir. When in New Zealand and all that.

✈️ Breakfast in the lounge before my flight to Wellington, New Zealand, for a few days. Was last there nine years ago.
