Mike's Day 11: Wellington and Mt Vic

We spent Tuesday walking around Wellington. After a late start, we walked to Oriental Bay Parade and had lunch at The Tugboat on the Bay. Massive and yummy.

















From there we rallied our full bellies up to the Southern Walkway: one of many walkways around Wellington. This one takes you high above Oriental Bay and the harbour and up to Mt Victoria. Oh, and a playground.







We decided to take detours around Mt Vic, and stumbled upon Lord of the Rings filming locations.


Mt Victoria was used as the outer reaches of the Shire and where the Hobbits hid to escape the Nazgul.





That night I had my salsa double-header, so Mike went to see...wait for it...Snakes on a Plane. Hee.
