Should have brought some wellingtons

Waking up in a wet and windy, Wellington. The weather has again turned South. Typical Wellington as they say and very suitable for a town named after a rain boot.
Before continuing North, we have a few sights in around town to see. First stop is Mount victoria, the mountain abutting the CBD of thud city. We head up the back way to the top of the mountain and a lookout. Very narrow and steep streets running between regular suburban houses. The houses are regular except they are hanging of the side of a mountain.
Once at the lookout we experience the full force of today's winds. Kate doesn't even get out of the car. I can't blame her, the wind threatens to knock you off of your feet and the meaning of wind chill is realised. Nevertheless, I have to climb the stairs to the peak lookout.
We head south through Wellington's outer suburbs to find the Weta Cave in an unremarkable residential steet. The Weta Cave is a mini museum showcasing the works of Weta, a visual effects company best known for their work on Lord of the Rings. Well worth an intriguing short visit, and we get a special little insight into current projects (halo, tin tin).
On our way out of Wellington we stop in on a shopping centre (we haven't seen one for over a week. We pick some essentials and move on.
Nearly worth mentioning: On a road well out of Wellington we notice a couple of cop cars speeding past. Soon we drive slowly past single vehicle accident involving a police car hitting a power pole. I didn't get any more insight but we could see that the incident was attended by 4 or 5 cop cars and neighbours were taking photos.
Eventually after dark we roll into Hastings in check into the Hastings Top 10 Holiday Park.
