We woke up this morning extremely excited for our day trip to the coastal city of Wellington. After a scenic drive into the city, we had a quick stop at First Saint Paul’s Cathedrale. It was a beautiful, old, wooden church.We continued to the Te Papa Museum where we took a quick tour of the museum’s first floor and even got to experience an earthquake simulation room! Then we all ate lunch at Mac’s on the wharf of Wellington. After lunch, we got a picture near the ocean, but it was hard to control our hair in the 90 mph winds!
After this, we split up into two groups. Janna, Alexa, and Kiersti continued to explore around the Te Papa museum which is one of the most famous museums in the world. Robyn, Susan, Kaleigh, and Kelsey went shopping down Cuba Street to most of the little stores and shops. Around 2, team USA met back up in the Te Papa museum’s gift shop where we spent a little bit of time before finding the bus to come back to the Makahika Lodge.
Tonight, we are having a big roast dinner and ice cream for dessert to celebrate our last night at the Makahika. We will repack and organize our bags to get ready for our all day travel tomorrow to Hamilton. We are very excited to start our second week on the IP Exchange!
