Bob doe nz, find an asian looking policewoman and go up to her and say," Excuse me, are you Sha Wing and how much do you cost?" :p (Might take a bit of time at the cop shop but you can always say" Hey givus five minutes on the net and I can explain.") :thumbs: :lol: :lol:	Greg (193)

The first thing I noticed was that there was no strong sea water smell that you usually get as well as the temperature being not that cold . I exited the train station building where a lady was giving out free boxes of Hubbards Outward Bound cereal . I asked for two, shoulda got three . I went along the waterfront to Te Papa to find its closed, so I go to McD's for some greasy slop . I check out what places are available and walk along Tory street to the Unknown Soldiers memorial . Take a few pictures of that, walk up to the art gallery and marvel at all the Wellington Blonds ;) Anywho I end up going back down Tory Street then along Wakefield to the information centre . There I grab a kilo's worth of pamphlets and proceed to the Cable Car . You guys were not kidding about the view . . . It was nice! Take a few pictures there as well as in the tram museum and then head to Te Papa . First thing I did was go see the LOTR exhibit . Was a little disappointed . . . I'm sure those videos were all from the Extended DVD extras . . . But the Boromir double was realistically creepy . . . You could have sworn it was Sean Bean there . So I spend a total of five hours at the Museum, forget the time and with 30 mins to spare, I rush off to Parliament Building to go on a rather crappy tour . (Loved the Earthquale Section as well as the living bush area) Stopping on the way to take a picture of a sea lion eating dinner . All the tour lady talks about is all the fancy expensive stuff that they made with our tax money and show us the gold leaf architecture . After a rather short 30 min tour I went into the main debating chamber . . . BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG 10 mins later I'm outa there . . . By now its dark so I go back to the Cable Car and ride it up, take a few pictures and then get more greasy slop at BK for dinnner, before taking the rather uncomfortable bus back home . And what is it with everyone wearing headphones??? Reminds me of the Cybermen Episode of Doctor thats gonna be on in a couple of weeks . I didn't do the trains as Burnzee suggested . I didn't see the Harley that Metla mentioned, just a Britten by the espresso shop .	bob_doe_nz (92)

471919	2006-07-26 01:30:00	Good to see you packed quite a few of the recomendations into your day, bob. And I'm not surprised you forgot the time at Te Papa. Ditto... When do we see the pix?	Laura (43)
