Some weird museum...

Sometimes, when you’re traveling, you come up with the weirdest things... From a McDonald’s right next to a Hindu temple (ooooh yes!), to a Cable Car Museum.

Wellington is situated on a few hills, so to go up to the botanical gardens (yes, beautiful but could we stop the rain, please?) you have to take this cable car. As the city is pretty old (we’re talking  1800’s, here!) they obviously changed the cable car a few times... and they well thought to make a museum out of it!

Not only they have old cars in display, they also show you a video of repairing them... silly me thinking of getting stuck in the hostel streaming new episodes of Jersey Shore when there’s so much to see out there!

Adrenaline!

When I first started thinking about coming to New Zealand, there were two things I mainly wanted to do once over here: bungy jumping and whale watching.

New Zealand is the place where bungy was invented so I thought it made sense to jump the Nevis, 134m and 8.5secs of free fall while I am out here and I personally don’t know many other places where you can go and look at three sperm whale diving in the ocean and take pictures of them.

One thing I wasn’t expecting is white-water rafting. I am not big into outdoors and I’d rather go partying than go hiking but this is definitely one of the best thing I’ve done so far: we jumped on the boat, all geared up... helmet and wetsuit as the water was freezing. Not only we paddled hard (my whole body was aching the next day) but we jumped off a couple of cliffs and went down grade V rapids and I believe I am totally an adrenaline junkie now!
