Wellington is the capital of New Zealand but has a population which is slightly smaller than that of Liverpool. It isn’t even the most populous city in the country, that honour goes to Auckland. Nevertheless it lies in a fantastic location at the southern tip of the North Island, surrounded by mountains and is the gateway to the South Island by means of ferry.
Mount Victoria stands at a hight of 196m and gives a wonderful panoramic view of Wellington. Certainly not a walkable option but well worth investigating the various means of getting to the top. Walking on the roads is not an option unfortunately as the roads are narrow and there are a lot of parked cars. We were lucky to have a lift.
