Wellington, New Zealand is where I was born, grew up, travelled the world from, returned and left again. New Zealand is famous for Edmund Hilary climbing Mt. Everest first, Earnest Rutherford splitting the atom first and...well, I could go on... but enough, show me the pictures!

¤ Wellington

Wellington is the world's most southern capital and the only capital in the "Roaring Forties" latitudes so it was the first Capital City to see in the new millennium.

Wellington has more restaurants, bars and cafes per head than New York with over 350 eateries and it has the greatest proportion of open space land per capita at 17.3 ha for every 1000 people.

Wellington gets more sunshine than Auckland, Melbourne and London and less rain than Auckland and Sydney.
