Wellington trip (24-26 April)

[Grahameeboy]

Well I am popping down with Nats Thursday 24th evo and flying back Saturday midday so have a whole day on Friday.

Plan to take Nats to Te Papa and roam the joint. Would like to take her on that train thingy that goes up to the Observatory but not sure if it has wheelchair access.

Can anyone let me know and generally let me know where else I can take her too that will be wheelchair friendly and suitable for a 5 year old coming on 10...!!

Any ideal cafes, restaurants as well.

It is gonna be a surprise, just gonna take her to airport...

Cheers

That "train thingy" is called the cable car. It takes wheelchairs, no problem, and once you're at the top there's room to explore. The Botanic Gardens playground is good, about 10 minutes walk from the top of the cable car, but there'll be a bit of work for the pusher going back up the hill.

Cheers that's great...no probs with pushing as Nats has a powered wheelchair...

You could always take her up to the wind turbine in brooklyn, its pretty cool standing under the blades of a big fuckin, windmill.

I would love to but with Nats not sure how to work it...it would have to be during Friday day time, probably mid arvo when I will hopefully have done Te Papa and Cable Car...

If you have any ideas let me know....

Transport is the main issue...Mobility Taxis are not cheap...

Maybe a Welly KB lunch to meet Grahameeboy and Nats is in order? Could you guys do that?

Hey it s a good cause to give the love you know...

Actually caught one of the old foggies who go to my Church using his Wife's (she was at home) permit to park in a mobility parking bay...of course I confronted him, he said "you are a contentious bugger aren't you"...I said "yes but I am right and this is not very Christian is it"...his face dropped, I turned my cheeks and left him there...ironic justice when he decided to bang into my car outside Church last year (what he did was insane) and tells me I should not be parked in the disability space..despite having my permit showing and having Nats.

I am sure we can...just have to be in the City itself and wheelchair friendly and do fish and chips cause Nats loves fish and chips when she is out...it would be cool to meet the little girl who stuck it to WINJA eh....
