Alice in Wonderland

The weather forecast today was a cold & wet one, so I decided a day into the city was in order – the kids just love going on the train and I had also planned to take them to the Alice In Wonderland exhibition and Te Papa, the national museum which we all love so much.

But those weathermen often get things wrong (although you've got to hand it to them - it must be quite challenging to get it right in a city like Wellington) and instead we had a glorious, warm and sunny day.

We did pop in to Wonderland where Molly got to play at being Queen of Hearts, Alfie played flamingo croquet (he was surprisingly good, although it took me a while to work out which angle to stand at to protect my ankles from wayward balls) and we all celebrated our "unbirthdays" with some cake decorating.

But for most of the day, we just wandered around the waterfront feeding birds, looking at the sculptures, playing rugby at the Fanzone and exploring.

Ah Wellington.... you can’t beat it on a good day!
