Also agree with Metla that the cafe prices weren't too bad. Well, not for big-city-style... Dunedin Museum cafe's also good, but a little cheaper. However, you can munch your supermarket chicken outside, Bob, while checking out the geology of the impressive rocks by the entrance.	Laura (43)

Having been born in Wgton I used to ride my bike from Strathmore Park to Mount Victoria and also around the Miramar Peninsular. A small walk up the end will get you the Savage Memorial. In my opinion you would need at least three days in Wellington. Brooklyn hill will also give views of Wellington and a wind turbine.	Sweep (90)

Wellington must have some of the best bus rides ever. Bus rides? Yep - the bus drivers are the best ever. We visited Welly last year and the driver, after we got off he notices us looking lost, asked us if we were sure where we wanted to be... he let us back on and got us to the right stop. Mt Vic - not recommended to walk in city shoes... my blisters had blisters upon them! My visit to Te Papa the next day was a sad hobbling excercise :( Visit, or at least view the Beehive... it's great. Try and find some of the local hidden Chinese cafe's - the food in Welly is great.
