Fark me...you have kids!!!

The zoo was pretty cool...way back when I lived in Welly. The little monkeys were left to run free along the path etc. I'd say the PC brigade have more than likely put a stop to that though.

Do you have a car while you are there? Drive up the coast to the Lindale Centre, up State Highway 1 - Paraparaumu. Carry on up the coast too.

The Weta Cave. 1 Weka St Miramar might be something a little different too.

You can come do my job and I'll entertain yer kids.

bastards, they probably dont even let the monkeys smoke anymore!

I do have kids! And children too. Didnt bring the goatlings with, though.

Cant load that lindale thing but was thinking about a train up that way...

If you're going to Lindale, then Southwards Car Museum is even better, just around the corner from Lindale anyhoo

[Moi]

Now here's a radical thought... sit down with the girls and the internet and do some planning with them around what interests them...

Or go to the Wellington Regional Council website and the Wellington City Council website for ideas... the Hutt River walk can be great fun and parts of it are easily accessible by public transport

Also, some amazing walks round the south coast area and again accessible by public transport...

X2 for Southwards Car Museum Axle, and don't forget to check out Pete's coffee (crasher)

[Banditbandit]

Take the ferry to Picton and back - a nice cruise for a whole day ..

this is cool and in the city too.

the Parliament tour is interesting too. Yes, even for a committed nihilist such as yourself.

Te Papa has a shit ton of interactive shit for childs. plus a mega-colossus robo-squid.

Zoo is in town though one of the tigers died since we were there

[fridayflash]

if ive got a few hours to kill in wgtn i often head to the library, it a blooody good one, and you can snooze in a bean bag! i remember in late 80's early 90's
they had huge vinyl collection with loads of punk/rarities...the peace/protest punks i knew used to go in and nick them, ah well, music to keep them company whilst camping outside the spybase i 'spose

No fucker will notice.
I understand your concern, but they're gonna have to find out some day and you won't tell 'em and who better could offer them an impartial view on life, eh, hmm.

The Planetarium at the top of the cable car ride should keep you busy for an hour or so. Then you can walk down to the Botanic gardens hugging every tree as you go. Still need to do the night walk (lookin for Kiwi) at Zealandia, but know folks who enjoyed it. If yer lookin to head out of town (up Kapiti) after 2:45 (ish) I gotz wheels and can drop yaz somewhere.
