So what is there to see here?

[texmo]

I am down in wellington for two weeks im staying in hatiati or something ( I can see the airport from my house). I have never been here and was just wondering if there are anymust sees from a biker or non-biker point of view, hopefully I will be able to see the "real" thursday night ride boys.

[zadok]

Going to see where the movies were filmed, seems to be popular, from what I hear. The new Hollywood huh!

[Karma]

You get a reasonable view from up on Mt. Victoria... just keep going up...

[idb]

You need to do a ride round the bays

[MisterD]

Te Papa's worth a wander around, then it's only a short stroll to the Shed22 brewpub for a pint of Sassy Red

[Colapop]

3 rides;
Rimutaka/Kaitoke hill
Akatarawa road
Paekakariki hill road

and possibly Karori/Makara/Johnsonville road

If ya like the twisty's.

There's a seal colony round Red Rocks (south coast). There's Te Papa (of course). The Days Bay ferry will take ya out to Somes/Matiu Island (It's an island...). Karori Wildlife Sanctury - new improved with Tuatara's! Some bars and theatre's and shit too.


Oh and we have our own one tree hill but it's not a tree it's a wind turbine ... that only occasionally turns ..... not much wind here...

You could always take some rotten tomato's down to the Behive and feed the suits. Aim red.

[skelstar]

Youd be welcome at the TRTNR of course. You know your way? Maybe some Wgtn City TRTNR-ers could show you the way out to the start point?

[cowpoos]

Check the package for what is on ( http://www.thepackage.co.nz/ ) .

Otherwise

Museam of city and sea - on the wharf near the events centre
City art gallery - civic square
Take the parliament tour, starts every hour I think. They are in session at the moment, but it's interesting anyway.
Botanic Gardens - Take the cable car up
Dowse Art Museam - In Lower Hutt, not hard to find
A movie at the Embassy - But the movies on at the moment seem weak to me.
Getting shitfaced on Courtnay Place on a Friday or Saturday

Or, on a nice day like today, just walk down Lambton Quay then to the end of Cuba St and just look at the eye candy...

I hear there's a big gay scene in Wellington. You could always go out and indulge your voracious appetite for man-sausage.
