Sep 29

Did the Museum of Transport And Technology. Pretty cool, sort of a Kiwi Smithsonian, although centered only on vehicles and tech. I really liked the old cars, and the exhibit on Richard Pearse, who (probably) flew a heavier than air plane a couple of years before the Wright brothers.

The old steam engines were awesome - some were running. Amazingly quiet, actually. And I'm always a sucker for big gears and other pieces of steel.

There was a little bit of science museum discovery stuff, which the kids enjoyed, too.

We had fish and chips for lunch - NZ$15 easily fed the five of us! Dinner was just bread and cheese and salad in the hotel room.
