Today we rode the free shuttle bus from The Amsterdam to Wellington's downtown area. We had spent a few days here in 2011, so we decided to explore on our own rather than go on a tour. We walked down to the waterfront.
This is a pretty area with wide walking paths bordered by restaurants and shops on one side. We saw a sign advertising ferry boat rides. Minutes later, we were on a small mail/ passenger boat, heading across the bay.
We made a few stops at small island communities considered Wellington's " Playground By The Sea ." Most of our fellow passengers were family groups on their way to have a Sunday picnic at the small island communities that are considered Wellington's " Playground By The Sea."
I took this picture of the side of a wharf just because I liked the colors of the weathered metal. Taking a closer look, I was surprised to see something that looks like a face, in the upper left-hand corner. Can you see it?
Back on land in Wellington, we walked all the way to the beautiful Te Papa museum. We discovered that an art gallery near the museum was featuring the works of Dr. Seuss! Photography was not allowed inside the building, but the window decorations were fair game, so---
Too bad we didn't have $ 10,000.00 to buy one of the prints made from his original drawings!
