Just come back from a long weekend in wellington.
First time in the capital.
Have to say I liked it. Reminded me a bit of parts of Central London and Galway, if you've been to all 3 places you might see what I mean.
I flew done on friday morning, had the whole day to myself to wander around.
Was really impressed by the amount of bikes parked up on the streets, and not just any old shite. Saw 3 dukes, an RSV aprillia, several BMWs and the usually collection of fine jap metal, all in good nick and looking very shiny. More quality bikes then you see in Auckland in the average work day for sure, and you'd never see such expensive bikes parked up like that here.
I'm guessing bike theft isn't an issue judging by the lack of security measures in place.
Add to that, a good half hour spent inspecting the Britten whilst the missus went around the constuble exhibition (to packed for me), and the pristine Douglas in the maritime museum, I had a good bike oogling filled weekend.
The fine dining only added to the experience, next time I'll bring the bike and get to see more then the CBD, although the constant state of drunkeness would have rendered any 2 wheeled activity obsolete on this occassion.
