Lots of walking today. Visited the Te Papa museum. They have an exhibit - a house - you go in it and they let loose a grade 5 eathquake on you. Cool but scary. Loads of Maori stuff including a Maere (their meeting house).
Tea was out for a Chinese called Big Thumb on Allen Street just off Courtenay Place (quite posh). Nice. Also not too expensive.
Rest of the night spent repacking. Off to pick up the rental car tomorrow morning then we have to get over to National Park Village. We have booked to do the first day of the Tongariro Crossing. 17Kms, 800m ascent in some heat. We're looking forward to it, honest!
