We woke up to a clear and beautiful morning, a big contrast from the weather the night before. Wellington is an amazing city, and quite reminiscent of Portland, in size and friendliness. We spent a good portion of the day at the Te Papa museum, an amazing place. One of Bonney's favorite items was the sheep shearing exhibit, where you could test your skills on the sheep manniquin covered in bar codes, which you swiped with a reader! We set off for Tongariro in the late afternoon, and the sunset was beautiful.
