It's not too windy - an unfortuate tendency of Wellington's. It's a good day for exploring- and there seems to be a lot going on. From Cuba street with it's coffee shops there's buskers, morris dancers and a group of people in wetsuits with cardboard fins (I assume) strapped to their arms pretending to be whales maybe, I'm not sure.
Heading up a steep path to Mount Victoria lookout for a view of the city I see racing boats out on the harbour, people swimming and later see paddle boarders too.
Te Papa museum is great- laid back feeling (you don't even have to leave your back pack and it's free) in a great building. A shaking house in the earthquake/ volcano section - for this is a big part of Wellington life. Then there's fibreglass trolls from the Hobbit looking a bit too lifelike and there's also, rather curiously, a preserved giant squid.
