An Evening in Wellington

Wellington is New Zealand's capital city. It's built on the hillsides that lead to the waterfront. It's a hustling, bustling, cosmopolitan city. For a U.S. comparison, it is very similar to San Francisco. The hills, the Victorian houses, the waterfront. It's a gorgeous place.

We ventured out on the town on foot. Our hotel is right on the waterfront but also in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood. On Courtenay Place we found all kinds of bars, restaurants and cafes... and settled on a quaint Italian bistro called Nicolini's. The food was wonderful, especially the South Island Queen Scallops. Incredible!

Walk along the waterfront, past the national museum and we turned in for the night.
