Eating our Way through Wellington

In our search for the ‘SF of NZ’, Wellington was high up on the candidate list. (Because really there’s only Wellington and Auckland on the list, so they’re both reasonably high up there.) And as many of you know, what we do best in SF is eat, and that was basically our to do list for Wellington. We scoped out the best cafes, restaurants, eateries and bars/breweries and tried to figure out how we could fit them all in a couple of days without ever getting trapped in a food coma. You’ll be happy to know that we did a pretty good job with balancing those, and even got to see a few sights in between! ;)

We checked out the lookout at Mt. Victoria after hiking up through the mountain bike park, perused the rose garden in the botanical garden, followed a sculpture walk through the city, made our way through the formidable Te Papa museum, and did some wandering through city streets and neighborhoods (in search of eateries, of course).

By the way, the jury is still out on Auckland vs. Wellington for the SF of NZ. I’m leaning towards Auckland, but Scott thinks Wellington.
