It was the final full day to spend on the north island, and it was time to set the Sat Nav to find Wellington. It was once again a trip that would take us through changing terrain and towns. Masterton, Carterton and Greytown were all well organised and fresh looking places, where attention had been paid to a community looking spirit.
We were heading on South highway 2 and making good headway, so we had time for a stop off for a picnic lunch. It was a commemorative garden area in tribute to world war 2 war heroes.
On the road again, we noticed the growing number of lanes as we arrived into Hutt city. Both Upper and Lower Hutt came into view on our left and we travelled across to find our way into the Capital Gateway Motel. A sternly looking receptionist went through the minimal formalities and we went to our allocated room 106 and unloaded the car.
We considered options after a short rest and decided to drive into the centre of Wellington and check out the attractions and whether there was anywhere to eat.
Parked up, we headed to the waterfront area and then across several streets into Cuba street, the food street. There was a veggie/vegan place mainly based on Malaysian style, so we tracked around for a half hour then went in and ate. It was hot, but it was well tasty and good.
